"Chaos Theory: Two Essays On Market Anarchy" by Robert P. Murphy

Among the most advanced topics in the literature in the Austro-libertarian milieu is that which deals with the workings of the fully free society, that is, the society with no state, or anarcho-capitalism. Robert Murphy deals with this head on, and makes the first full contribution to this literature in the new century.
Working within a Rothbardian framework, he takes up the challenge ofHans Hoppe regarding the role of market insurance in property security to extend the analysis to the security of person.




This book is dedicated to those who believe government is a necessary evil: You're half right. The following essays show that the two most crucial "functions" of government—law and defense—can be efficiently supplied on the free market.
The State is thus shown to be completely unnecessary. Anarchy, the absence of coercive government, must not be confused with chaos.

This pamphlet contains the essays "Private Law" and "Private Defense," perhaps the simplest explanation to date of anarcho-capitalism or market anarchy
