Government As Polite Mafia

Government As Polite Mafia

Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the political far right and libertarian frontier.

The Pure Anarcho-Capitalist believes the state is a category error, the country is a market we have not finished pricing, and the cure is a really firm contract. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the Pure Anarcho-Capitalist mindset, with help from the Mises Institute and Reason Magazine.

Closing Note From The Editor

If any of the above sounds familiar, you have wandered into a libertarian conference, a country house weekend, or a Bitcoin meetup with very strong opinions. More dispatches at govna.uk and the parent site prat.uk. For a second opinion that is also wrong, see Private Eye.
