⭐ Core Definition: Market anarchism

Market anarchism 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.

Due to contending definitions of the terms 'markets' and 'capitalism' which are not used by free-market anti-capitalists, anarcho-capitalism has been referred to synonymously as "free-market anarchism," but the ideologies differ significantly. The Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS), which Kevin Carson is associated with, is one such group of free-market anti-capitalists. As is Samuel Edward Konkin III's agorism, a tendency associated with left-libertarianism.

👉 Market anarchism in the context of Counter-economics

Counter-economics is an economic theory and revolutionary method consisting of direct action carried out through the black market or the gray market. As a term, it was originally used by American libertarian activists and theorists Samuel Edward Konkin III and J. Neil Schulman. The former defined it as the study or practice "of all peaceful human action which is forbidden by the State".

The term is short for counter-establishment economics and may also be referred to as counter-politics. Counter-economics was integrated by Schulman into Konkin's doctrine of agorism, a left-libertarian social philosophy and branch of market anarchism that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges.
