Of course, since there were no markets to advocate when we lived in
caves. The limited division of labor was organized by tradition,
democracy, and/or top-down command. To the extent that exchange
existed, it was embedded in a matrix of social obligations: it was
reciprocity, not true exchange. It was pretty obvious that the
collectivity was necessary to survival, so that no-one advocated
abolishing it (as libertarians do).
