Description
Imagine a world without government. This idea may seem impossible, given the omnipresent power and reach of state monopolies in our lives. However, there is no rational or economic reason to assume that governments are necessary for providing essential services such as roads, healthcare, charity, dispute resolution, courts, policing, national defense, and more. Governments have been responsible for a staggering number of deaths in the 20th century alone. If it's possible to run a society without a government, then why not strive towards this goal? Stefan Molyneux makes a compelling case for private, voluntary provision of public services, revealing the idea of government as a dangerous and unnecessary anachronism. This book presents a strong argument for a peaceful and voluntary future for mankind.
