Introduction to the first edition of Robert P. Murphy's Chaos Theory: Two Essays on Market Anarchy.

Once we simply imagine the possibility of a society without the state, the case for anarcho-capitalism or "market anarchy" seems obvious.

Private Law

Robert P. Murphy — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

In this essay, Robert Murphy argues that the elimination of the state will not lead to lawless chaos. Voluntary institutions will emerge to effectively and peacefully resolve the disputes arising in everyday life. Not only will market law be more efficient, it will also be more equitable, than the government alternative.

Narrated by Jock Coats.

Private Defense

Robert P. Murphy — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

There is nothing intrinsic to military defense that requires state provision. The free market can provide defense more cheaply and more effectively than the government can. It is foolish and reckless to entrust the state with the protection of civilian lives and property.

Narrated by Jock Coates.
