Marx made very much the same argument in the main body
of The Poverty of Philosophy: it was market price that
signaled the producer how much to produce, and thus
regulated price according to the law of value.

NOTES
For the third time, so what? Engels still did not show that
exploitation was inherent in a given level of productive
forces, without the use of coercion. He needed to show, not
that parasitism depends on the preexistence of a host
organism (duh!), but that it cannot be carried out without
force. Every increase in economic productivity has created
opportunities for robbery through a statist class system;
but the same productive technology was always usable in non-
exploitative ways. The fact that a given kind of class
parasitism presupposes a certain form of productive
technology, does not alter the fact that that form of
technology has potentially both libertarian and exploitative
applications, depending on the nature of the society which
adopts it.

Introduction.
Where land is cheap and all men are free, where every
one who so pleases can obtain a piece of land for
himself, not only is labour very dear, as respects the
labourers' share of the product, but the difficulty is
to obtain combined labour at any price.
There you have it: the Tudor state without the whippings,
ear-croppings and executions; the Black Codes without the
lynchings.

12. The term "primitive accumulation" (or "original accumulation"),
was originally used by the classical economists in reference to the
process by which, in the mists of time, capital had been originally
accumulated by an owning class distinct from laborers (Adam Smith’s
"accumulation of stock"); it was assumed to have been the result of
success in the marketplace. Marx used the term ironically, standing it
on its head. The term, succinctly, referred to "an accumulation not the
result of the capitalist mode of production, but its starting point."

Chapter Five: The State and Capitalism
in the "Laissez-Faire" era.
The nineteenth century is commonly described, alike by
paternalistic liberals and social democrats, and by the
kinds of vulgar "libertarians" who engage mainly in pro-
corporate apologetics, as an age of "laissez-faire." But to
use such a term in reference to that period is an utter
travesty. We have already seen, in our previous chapter on
primitive accumulation, how the capitalism of the
nineteenth century reflected the violent reconstruction of
society by a statist revolution from above. In addition, it
was of the allegedly "laissez-faire" nineteenth century that
Benjamin Tucker wrote, when he identified the four great
forms of legal privilege on which capitalism, as a statist
system of exploitation, depended. We will examine those
four privileges, central to the structure of "laissez-faire"
capitalism, in this chapter. In addition, we will examine a
fifth form of state intervention largely ignored by Tucker,
even though it was central to the development of capitalism
throughout the nineteenth century: transportation
subsidies.
E. Transportation Subsidies
Adam Smith argued over two hundred years ago for the
fairness of internalizing the costs of transportation
infrastructure through user fees.
But that's not the way things work under what the
neoliberals like to call "free market capitalism." Spending
on transportation and communications networks from general
revenues, rather than from taxes and user fees, allows big
business to "externalize its costs" on the public, and
conceal its true operating expenses. Chomsky described this
state capitalist underwriting of shipping costs quite
accurately:
