I can see where these examples exist, but I can also see examples where leaving the production of goods and services totally unregulated leads to corruption, inefficiency, and enslavement.

The term "straw man" gets tossed around a lot, often inaccurately, but here is a case where it really applies. Almost no one is arguing that corruption and fraud, let alone enslavement should be allowed, certainly no one on this thread is.

There would be no enslavement because slavery would remain illegal. So would fraud. Arguing for market solutions is not arguing for anarchy.
