Description

Among the most advanced topics in the literature of the Austrolibertarian milieu is that which deals with the workings of the fully free society, that is, the society with no state, or anarchocapitalism. 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 of Hans Hoppe regarding the role of market insurance in property security to extend the analysis to the security of person.
His applications are part empirical and part speculative, but unfailingly provocative, rigorous, and thoughtful. The title itself refers to the supposed chaos that results from eliminating the state, but Murphy shows that out of chaos grows an ordered liberty. Anyone interested in exploring the farthest reaches of anarchist theory must come to terms with Murphy's account.

    I have read a number of Dr. Murphy's works before and each one has allowed me to gain more insightful knowledge on the free market as well as Austrian economics. This is a staple for those who wish to abolish that great heathen reigning terror over us: THE STATE.
