Something to think about. Had I been riped off there is no government agent, US or British, for me to turn to. Rather, I would turn to Amazon, a private company, who has set up agreements it can settle through private arbitration.

Right now all I'm trying to establish is the existence of the free market, as defined in the OP. It must exist if taxes, tariffs, and regulations are applied to it. There must be an it there. To dismiss it is no argument.
From there it's simple logic, presented in the OP, to conclude free markets are fair, given that each person in an exchange trades voluntarily for something he values less for something he values more. What can be fairer than that?
When we have a global government, Chris will be 100% correct.
Today, not so much.
