So, within the market, the labourer is free in a double sense - free to dispose of his labour-power as his own commodity and free from the encumbrance of other commodities to sell. This sphere of circulation, within which the buying and selling of labour-power is merely one especially important example, is the exclusive realm of 'Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham'. There is freedom because buyers and sellers are freely able to buy and sell - no one forces them to enter a particular market at a specific time, to sell or to purchase a certain commodity.

This sphere of circulation, within which the buying and selling of labour-power is merely one especially important example, is the exclusive realm of 'Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham'.
