Only in a FREE-MARKET.

And we do not have such a thing at the moment.

Hmm, I think we may have lost the plot. I realize ideas are bendy and there are multiple ways of viewing things but somehow I've managed to get you to argue against your previous point. I think we can agree that private trade individual to individual is more free when government is excluded from the formula.

What I'm trying to point out is that "the market" (the official "economy" + "stock market") is not a FREE-market.

When you suggested that there has never been a "truly-free-market" I was prepared to offer counter-factuals.
