One question that I have about the framework of #MarketAnarchism

In the book Markets, not Capitalism, they write:
>The centrifugal tendency of markets: market anarchists see freed
markets, under conditions of free competition, as tending to diffuse
wealth and dissolve fortunes – with a centrifugal effect on incomes, property-titles, land, and access to capital – rather than concentrating it in the hands of a socioeconomic elite. Market anarchists recognize no de jure limits on the extent or kind of wealth that any one person might amass; but they believe that market and social realities will impose much more rigorous de facto pressures against massive in-equalities of wealth than any de jure constraint could achieve

I would like to see evidence for this, as my assumption was the opposite. Obviously you see a centripetal tendency in today's markets, but one might say that these are not free markets (because of the state etc.). But even in a free market - as long as you have money, one can start optimising for it and start hoarding it. I think the market system encourages that.
