Not at all. Perhaps you didn't read where I wrote:
Let's take it again, anyway, translating "free market" to mean
"variously
distorted mixed economies with some level of non-free market":
It is patently obvious from the evidence (unless your mind is in oyster
mode) that even in hobbled, non-free markets, real tech mostly comes
from the market, and not from the state. You even agree with this on
several occasions, just before your thinking gets garbled by
contradictions.
It is as obvious from the evidence that the wealth and productivity of
nations is in direct proportion to the level of freedom, economic and
personal (which are just two sides of the same coin) prevailing in each.
