The free market in actual terms, and not in the theoretical ideal, consists of commerce legally constrained by what is economically desirable and what is socially desirable, as well.

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

In the free market, the goods and services that are sold are those that consumers in the economy require which is why they buy the goods in the first place.

The goods and services that are sold are also socially desirable. This means that in a particular society, the goods and services sold must conform to the social norms and values that the economy holds. In essence, they shouldn't be illegal.
