Rothbard30.dubna Rothbard introduces Molinari's essay as a pioneering work that took free-market principles to their logical conclusion by questioning the state's monopoly on defense.

Monopoly and Communism30.dubna Molinari draws a parallel between monopoly and communism, arguing that both represent departures from the principle of free competition. The Divine Right of Kings and Majorities30.dubna Molinari argues that majority rule is no more legitimate than royal absolutism when it violates individual rights. The Production of Security30.dubna Molinari opens by establishing that humans have a fundamental need for security of their persons and property. Security an Exception?30.dubna Molinari confronts the common objection that security is somehow different from other goods and must be exempted from market provision. The Monopolization and Collectivization of the Security Industry30.dubna Molinari describes how coercive control over defense led to the familiar abuses of taxation, war, and the suppression of individual liberty. |
