Freedom is Innate. Each of us are born with a requirement to be free. Free to think, Free to work and profit from that work, and free to act as our conscience dictates. This freedom should exist unless and until one infringes upon anothers right to or live freely and around it goes again. Mans mind, throughout history, has always been th most prolific producer of art and innovation and progress when left free to do so AND to profit personally from the product which it produces. Whenever repressed unnecessarily another or by governments, it's ability to produce and create is reduced to that of mere existence and is at it's lowest levels.One would think that as we progress, we would enjoy greater understanding of mankinds need to live in freedom. It seems self evident to me, that at some point we would be able to leave mysticism and it's accompanying tribal mentality behind. And yet, here we are, with the modern conveniences defined by logic and practical scienctific theory's. Advances which we would not be enjoying until the far off future were it not for the more or less free environment in which they were created. Again, historically, the greatest advances in technology and quality of life have come from those societies that have been the least encumbered by the oppression of government interference. Envisioned and produced by those who were least persuaded by the point of a gun.

Not only free to create, but free to reap the just rewards for their efforts. Instead of the socialist/altruist mantra, "from each according to his abilities...to each according to his ned", advancement comes from those societies that practice the Axiom of Reason. "mutual exchange for mutual benefit". Free market capitalist principles can be a logical process. Supply and demand, both determining the price of goods and services. Prices dictated by the requirements of the consumers and the manufacturing capabilities of the supplier. A manufacturer should have the right to request a premium price for their products or services. A consumer has the right to determine what they are willing to pay for a given item.
This equation if left alone will inevitably lead to a point in which manufacturers and buyers meet in the middle. At no point in the transaction does anyone FORCE anyone to make or buy a product. The transactions take place from a position of mutual equality. Only when a collectivist ideology or government intrudes into the equation is force a factor. A government that determines at what price a good or service can be made or sold and equates to forced production at the point of a gun.
