The people facing scarcity will resort to means other than markets to solve the problems of scarcity.
This is bullshite.
It's more like
When access to markets is limited, people will resort to dealing with scarcity in more violent and aggressive ways.
People don't naturally beat and steal from each other for resources, they do it when there are not ways to mutually benefit.

People act to satisfy their own desires. They will cooperate only if the results of cooperation satisfy their desires. Otherwise they will compete, and they may go so far as to exceed the acceptable rules for competition to gain whatever advantage necessary to obtain the desired level of satisfaction.
