Markets --- in their ideal form --- naturally represent Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) systems: market participants can be both client {it and}
server when exchanging offers, general messages, or goods. They can
directly address each other, and interact in a decentralized and
autonomous fashion. Most market implementations in history, however,
were far from this ideal form.
