Of course another, even more stupid way to manage the market is to limit who can buy and sell. In the limit having a monopoly seller. Since "only authority can be trusted", only authority can license someone to sell (or buy).
Unfortunately we see many examples of this in our world.
It is inevitably abused by the monopoly holder to extract rents and exploit those forced to buy from it.
