A Spontaneous Order
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
A Spontaneous Order (2015) by Chase Rachels sets out the case for anarcho-capitalism, a society without a state organized around private property and voluntary exchange. Rachels argues that the state is inherently coercive and that services such as law, courts and defence could be provided by competing private firms. He addresses common objections and describes how a stateless society might handle disputes and security.
