My point is that the terms in the sale of a loaf of bread are implicit, just like those in the social contract. The idea that it isn't a free market until you sign a document is demonstrably false.


The contract law behind buying a loaf of bread is well-codified and settled.

The term "social contract" means whatever the person using the term wants it to mean.

Not the same thing. At all.


If it's well-codified and settled then you'll have absolutely no problem providing a complete, and completely uncontroversial, version of it.

Enjoy.
