the point is it is total unregulated "free market" No it isn't. Somalia might not have large regulatory bureaucracies, or for the most part even functional regulatory bureaucracies, but there is nothing free about being subject to the arbitrary rule of the local tribal warlord, or various Islamicist organizations, or whatever group happens to be in charge of your part of Somalia at the moment.

the point is it (Somalia) is total unregulated "free market" the "magic hand" of the free market rules there Are you completely nuts? There is no freedom there, economic or otherwise. You'll do what you're told, or you'll be sprouting daisies (or whatever grows there).. And as for Tom Yesterday's stupid "cartoons", he's just as deluded as the rest of your statist bunch.
