In a government regulated "market", you dont even have to produce enough to live off of, ie Welfare, Food Stamps etc. In a totally "free market", you only have to produce enough to receive in return the goods or services that you want. The fact is that in a free market people often enjoy having an excess of either goods, services or some form of money. Therefore they produce more than they need at one time to either barter or sell. In a government controlled economy, since no one would be receiving an excess based on their own personal production, people would have no incentive to find ways to be efficient.
