> Best case you get a almost as good outcome

Ah, so you have never heard of market failure, market manipulation, cartels, negative externalities, qash trading, self dealing, insider trading, wage supression agreements, and dozens of others?

You do realise that without government to keep fraud and manipulation in check 'free market' collapses into anarchy in one week?

In more political phraseology, that would be tyranny rather than anarchy (that is, without hierarchy)

Can you provide an example of this? Or maybe point out some theory/philosophy that builds to this? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm legitimately curious what is out there as this doesn't seem like a self-evident claim.

Of your list, the party that comes to mind as a salient example most often is the state.
