Market anarchism
Branch of anarchism advocating anti-capitalist free-market systems From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Freed market" redirects here. For the general economic concept, see Free market.
Market anarchism[1] is the branch of anarchism that advocates a free-market economic system based on voluntary interactions without the involvement of the state; a form of individualist anarchism[2] and libertarian socialism.[3]
Samuel Edward Konkin III's agorism is a strand of left-wing market anarchism that has been associated with left-libertarianism.[4] Anarcho-capitalism has also been referred to synonymously as free-market anarchism[5][6][7][8] due to contending definitions of the terms ‘markets’ and ‘capitalism’ which are not used by free-market anti-capitalists.[9]

"But there has always been a market-oriented strand of libertarian socialism that emphasizes voluntary cooperation between producers. And markets, properly understood, have always been about cooperation. As a commenter at Reason magazine's Hit&Run blog, remarking on Jesse Walker's link to the Kelly article, put it: "every trade is a cooperative act." In fact, it's a fairly common observation among market anarchists that genuinely free markets have the most legitimate claim to the label "socialism."

"Later [left-libertarianism] became a term for the left or Konkinite wing of the free-market libertarian movement, and has since come to cover a range of pro-market but anti-capitalist positions, mostly individualist anarchist, including agorism and mutualism, often with an implication of sympathies (such as for radical feminism or the labor movement) not usually shared by anarcho-capitalists."

For example Murray Rothbard….”
