the market, the natural state of human interaction: this is the sort of statements that tries to hide the fact that you too have an ideology, which makes you as stubborn and blind (or enlightened) as any European regulator can be.
The natural state of human interaction is quite hard to define. We could look at the question from a philosophical, religious or anthropological point of view and get different answers. In your case is not clear what's the standard you use for arrive to your conclusion, which like religious dogmas, seem it was given to you by divine revelation.
Another interesting observation of your statement is that it uses the word natural to suggest the other option is unnatural, and therefore some sort of perversion. However, another alternative to natural could be the artificial. Since you are using a computer to write your message, you were vaccinated at some point in your life, ate food grown with fertilizers, and so on; I hope there's no need to convince you that artificial doesn't mean perversion.
Hope you can get something useful from this answer. Cheers!
yes thanks for your answer. but of course the free market is the natural state in which self-interested, free individuals express their preferences. You need to do more of your own ethical research at this point to understand that.

but there's a problem, it's not a natural state, it's a system which can only exist if some individuals are restrained from impulses to oppress, steal or cheat others. Sometimes we also need to restrain ourselves since a third-party could be harmed by a transaction that could be beneficial for both of us. That third-party could be someone still not being born.
Since we are also affected by unnatural regimes, most of us don't come to the world being able to appreciate the benefits of liberty, and easily fall again in the hands of tyrants instead of choosing the path of freedom. I argue that's the case of Russia after the Soviet Union.
