The problem with a "true free market" is that, by its nature, it won't stay such for long. Crushing competition and dominating the market will always be a logical course of action.
If the companies are shown to be unfaithful in some way they will be punished by losing buisness. Buisnesses can only succeed when the people decide for them to succeed in a free market.
People can already decide whether or not a company succeeds. Refusing to buy a product or from a company is already a possibility that many people ignore. The average consumer will continue to purchase even from "unfaithful" companies because they want the product they're producing. You vastly underestimate the apathy and ignorance of the majority of consumers. They simply don't care. None of this will change in a "true free market" system and may actually get worse because when you combine the apathy and ignorance with the inevitable business goal of market domination, you get a bunch of people that want something with only one place to get it and who are too short-sighted to pay more in the short run so that a competitor can arise. This gives the dominating company many options for exploiting the consumer.
Oh yeah, and there won't be any competitors unless already-rich dudes decide to expand into another market (assuming they're even willing to pour in the vast amounts of money required to compete with an already-established giant). In which case, it's, at best, a situation where the rich are trading power between themselves with no chance for a small business (barring anything short of a miracle) to compete on any kind of scale.
>In todays corporatist system some buisnesses that would have fallen long ago due to would be competition are still standing due to their connections to the government.
And why do you suppose it would be any different in your scenario? Nothing would stop them from throwing money around until whatever they want has been gotten. Yeah, it would go against the spirit of the true free market, so what? Things like that happen already and hardly anyone is lifting a finger to stop it.
