The entire purpose of "consent based ethics" was the idea that a valid transaction in a free market system can only occur with the "well informed consent" of both parties.
My point is that a free market can only exist where 1. There are no external methods of enforcement (no courts) 2. Those involved still follow rules concerning fraud and force. There are a few possibilities to get a system like this, but not today (I think.)

no that's a utopian market
-
not true. For example, within a guild where all members are vetted through other means they could practice an entirely free market without enforcement mechanisms. Coercion becomes necessary where trust doesn't exist.
-
ah yes but there is the coercion of exclusion from the guild market of all non guild members who don't meet the extensive vetting criteria so what you have is a closed market not a free market.
-
It's not though, since the market never included them to begin with.
