There is much content in the links that "bears on this subject." All four of these men are anarcho-capitalists. Not all of their article are going to be titled, "Let's Get Rid of the State!" No, this is too much to cover in one article. Instead, they argue for the privitatzation of one thing in an article. Maybe roads, maybe defense. This is in addition to the other things they write in which the conclusion that the state is bad is implicit.

www.hans-hoppe.com
WalterBlock.com free enterprise, capitalism, laissez faire, free markets, private property, law and economics, environmentalism, economics and religion, freedom index, minimum wage, rent control, unions, discrimination, Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell,
Roger Garrison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Roger Garrison)
Roderick T. Long's Home Page

On Block's, Hoppe's and Long's sites, they state they are anarchists. While the wiki article does not say this explitly about Garrison, it does say he is an Austrian Economist. The Austrian School believes that the state always screws things up, thus it is implicit that Garrison is an anarcho-capitalist.

Here are three sites that are basicly devoted to free-market anarchism:
Ludwig von Mises Institute Home
LewRockwell.com
Molinari Society

On the Mises site, look up some of Murray Rothbard's stuff and we can discuss it on another thread.


In other words, you are seriously incorrect in you assertion that there is no serious scholarship on the subject. Your refusal to accept this does not make it any less true and is only indicative on you unwillingness to learn.
