Anyways, the device in question would simply not have existed if there wasn't for competition. His comment is thus evidence of its content being false.

Plenty of nation that are not lawless but are effectively unregulated in the matters being discussed.

And they do not fit your supposition.

Really...

Can you provide an example?

Worker protection against harrassment being a blatantly obvious one.

The type of discrimination women face varies from state to state. In 123 countries there are no laws to stop sexual harassment in education, and 59 countries don’t legislate against it in the workplace.

That lack of regulation inherently keeps women out of the workforce, specifically due to the lack of regulation.

Need I iterate more blatantly obvious examples?

Now you're noting that some countries don't have specific workplace condition mandates. Not having said law doesn't mean they meet the ideals noted, of having laws establishing a free market, while lacking regulations that restrict voluntary exchange. To elaborate: in order to prove classical economists' and libertarians' claims about the free market being optimal are wrong, you'd have to show far more than these cherry-picked examples.

Your argument is sloppy, and when I request for more vigor, you lash out to create a flame war. This is not intellectual or scientific.

I'm absolutely justified in demanding you support your claims with evidence, and your belligerent responses are not justified, no matter how morally superior you believe yourself to be.

You said "Can you provide an example of poorly performing economies which "are not lawless but are effectively unregulated in the matters being discussed"?" And that's what I was replying to.

I provided an entire class of people who are harmed in such nations, of which too many exist.

Just because they don't share your preferences doesn't change the fact they meet the criteria you set forth.
