How so? Do you mean we're not free to form a new nation, or that we're
not free to move from one to the next?
In some cases, the latter is certainly true, but that's just the market in
action; different types of product are available, with different
requirements and benefits. I want to buy a car in a fictitious free market,
but I only want to spend $1000. Does the fact that I can't buy a
top-of-the-line luxury car for that amount mean that the market is not free?
Dave!
