Sometimes we assume that protection of our legal right to enter into a
contract or refrain from doing so assures us the capacity to choose, that legal
recognition of our capacity to be the agents of our actions implies that we do,
indeed, act on our will, that what we get is what we want and that what we
want springs from within. If this were so, then a market society would clearly
assure freedom for those who have the requisite means (wealth).
