I do not believe it has been truly tested, anymore than I believe communism has been truly tested. Even the most hands off gvernments aren't actually hands off. Rules and laws relating to trade are skewed in favour of a particular class and even in a predominately laissez faire government such as America's there are such things as trade protectionism, subsidies and corporate welfare.
