The Case For Anarchy

David D. Friedman

Capitalism is in crisis. Inequality sky-rockets, the tech giants grow increasingly unstoppable, and technological advances leave millions out of work. But what if the problem is that capitalism is not radical enough? Join renowned anarcho-capitalist economist David D. Friedman as he makes the case for getting rid of the state and letting capitalism run free.

Part 1: Freedom through Anarchy
Unrestricted immigration, legal drugs, private police - David explains what a stateless society would look like, and why it would work for the benefit of everyone.
