Reason Magazine search for Assange here
I have enough expertise in politics and history to understand that a free market ends up as monopoly unless you force them to be free. -- Julian Assange, quoted from the Forbes interviewActually Julian, no. Monopoly's are only possible because the government "lends a hand" or rather "provides the fist" to wipe out competition in the market therefore allowing monopolies to form.
Sometimes this is intentional and at other times it is an unintended consequence.
All free markets need is a laissez faire attitude: "Let us alone" -- meaning "respect our individual and private property rights by not initiating force upon us".
The only time you need force in a free market is for self-defense. Given that violations to individual and private property rights are going to occur some time or another (especially in this post-modern, morally relative world we live in) it is wise to prepare and be able to defend yourself.
If you conduct yourself as a capitalist, your rights are going to be violated. Count on it.
