Title: Looking for a concurency goverment system presentation. Post by: szuetam on February 15, 2013, 12:14:04 PM I'm looking for a presentation which I saw on YT some time ago.
It was about idea concept of goverment concurency, where you can pick up a security company which will protect you against others instead of police and military, and if you get conflict with other customer of the same firm you have some arbitrary judge as another company who will make a decision in case etc etc. Maybe someone have seen that and could give me link, ecause I cant find it now. Help please. Title: Re: Looking for a concurency goverment system presentation. Post by: Anon136 on February 15, 2013, 01:53:22 PM possibly law without government graham p wright. Or maybe the machinery of freedom an illustrated summary by bitbutter. Either way it sounds as if you are describing the ideas of david d friedman.

Do let me know if you figure it out because if you are talking about something that i have not seen than it sounds like something i would like to see.

Title: Re: Looking for a concurency goverment system presentation. Post by: coqui33 on February 16, 2013, 01:43:07 PM The argument appears in most anarcho-capitalist writings. David D. Friedman's "The Machinery of Freedom" probably explains it best. The book is now free in PDF form from Freidman's website. Here is sample passage. (http://daviddfriedman.com/Libertarian/Machinery_of_Freedom/MofF_Chapter_29.html)
Personally, I have one big problem with the argument. The argument is advocated by people unfamiliar with lethal violence in real life. Although killing can be costly, the mere threat of killing usually suffices to impose will. And credible threat is cheap. Consider any failed nation--warlords inevitably emerge. In this, I agree with Ayn Rand, not with Friedman and others. |
