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][3]
Due to contending definitions of the terms 'markets' and 'capitalism' which are not used by free-market anti-capitalists,[4][5][6] anarcho-capitalism has been referred to synonymously as "free-market anarchism," but the ideologies differ significantly.[7][8][9][10] The Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS), which Kevin Carson is associated with, is one such group of free-marked anti-capitalists.[11] As is Samuel Edward Konkin III's agorism, a tendency associated with left-libertarianism.[12]
Some writers, such as Iain McKay, have been skeptical of this conceptual nomenclature on the grounds that it still leads to misunderstandings about its similarity to anarcho-capitalists.[13][14]
