The question was whether there were any pre-1930s economists in favor of the
"pure free market."  I don't see how my pointing out Mises's criticisms of
government intervention into the market process is a "loaded way to refer
just to actions supporting labor and the poor against property and the
rich."  In the book I referenced, Mises defines(p. 20)interventionism as "a
limited order by a social authority forcing the owners of the means of
production and entrepreneurs to employ their means in a different manner
than they otherwise would."  The first topic he takes up after that is
tariffs.  The next is price control.
