  • David D. Friedman discusses anarcho-capitalism.
    In this interview, economist David D. Friedman discusses anarcho-capitalism: from what an anarcho-capitalist society would really look like, why so few societies operate under such a system, and the concrete steps we can take to move towards, in his mind, this Utopia.
    #DavidFriedman #anarchocapitalism #anarcho-capitalism
    David D.Friedman is an American economist, physicist, legal scholar, and anarcho-capitalist theorist.

      Because humans are hierarchical by nature like pretty much the majority of other animals, it’s very hard to overcome our own nature, most people aren’t even aware of it.
      Besides even though all men are free at the moment of birth at least, generally there is someone waiting there (usually the state itself) to take that freedom away, the only way it can be taken, by force, and then it takes blood and courage to get it back, hence 99% of all humanity have lived in chains, you could objectively stated that: “humanity is a slave species, in which individual liberty is a rarity”
      On a personal note, I’m pretty much like you, I desire above anything else, as much freedom as I can get.

    One of the reasons that anarco capitalism doesn't exist is because governments don't let it exist. Governments monopolize various features and force people to pay for it. Schools are a good example, since it hardly makes fiscal sense to pay for public school and private school, when you could just send your kid to public school and not have to pay for private school.

    I can’t believe all the negativity here. Most of the ideas David expressed are libertarian and the way I see it he’s taking the arguments for freedom and individualism expressed by Mill, Hayek, Locke, Mises, Rothbard, Buchanan, Sowell, Williams, the other Friedman, and more to their logical conclusion. The point he made regarding cyber space is a great example and we should all work hard to keep it free. His ‘baby steps’ of school vouchers have been tossed around for decades and it’s protectionism that’s stopped us from implementing such a simple, elegant, and effective plans.

      I think that's pretty optimistic thinking, to say the least. There's no guarantee that people will magically follow the NAP under anarcho-capitalism. Friedman admits that anarcho-capitalism may actually end up looking very un-libertarian. Rothbardians are allergic to thinking about what anarcho-capitalism will *actually* look like, so they have this cheery idea that everyone will just sing kumbaya and obey the NAP.

    His remarks on Islandic legal system can -at least partly- be said for every legal system of early medieval europe. "Enforcement of law was entirely a private affair". If a victim wasn´t able (poor, socially excluded) to bring forth an accusation, a crime would never be brought before a court in almost every fucking country before the 12th century, before the invention of the inquisitorial system (which emerged with the reimplementation of top-down roman law in contra to than existing rather bottum-up germanic law).
    Even if a verdict was reached in front of a court the victim in most cases had to enforce it by him/herself. This often ended in violent, long ongoing blood feud when the other party answered with violence. Njáls saga even describes such a bloody feud for the Iceland Commenwealth later settled in an Althing.
    The only difference that in Iceland there was no centralized court system to reach & take out the verdict to beginn with (but the court system in other medieval countries was low level by far until the 13th century as feuds where common practice and the reach of most kings courts were weak and partly in case of the Reich got even weaker --> e.g. Statutum in favorem principum (1231)).
    So kind of an weak argument as the judical system in early medieval europa was weak & more than often on the brink of anarchy. Even existing "bottum-up" institutions like pantaidinge haven´t changed that.

Corporatism is when society is organized into guilds or syndicates based off of trade. This includes both employers and employees. This is used for political and economic representation.

    Just because the government might be bad at producing food doesn't mean it's bad at producing laws. For a start, what entity other than a government has ever produced laws? Producing laws is what governments do. Food, on the other hand, largely is produced by the private sector. If a private company produces an edible product, no-one is under any obligation to buy it; If a government produces a law, everyone has to follow it. Imagine if laws were produced by private companies and you could pick and choose which ones to follow - it would be complete chaos!

      It removes the advantages and bailouts big business gains from government through rent seeking and removes the chains put on small business so the market is more equitable. The limiting factors for moving up economic classes in most instances are education, wages, cost of starting business, willingness to save, willingness to work hard, capacity to work smart. Education is cheap with the internet, most people making minimum wage still live with their parents so they can save most of it, the cost of starting a business would go down and with internet businesses it is pretty low and technologies like 3D printing and arduino are decreasing it in other categories. Everyone who falls through the cracks benefits from everyone else being more productive increasing wages with more businesses popping up and improving the ability of family and community to support the needy. But if you really have a problem with the smart and privileged being more successful than others you can screw the poor and middle class by undermining economic prosperity. The wealthy and high achievers will still be more successful under any system.

These were the leaders of the most hyper collectivist political/economic structures as well as the ones who profited the most.
      A world without profit of some sort doesn’t exist.
      That said, capitalism, as imperfect as it is, has done far more to distribute wealth than any other system of economic organisation.
