The libertarian leaning, free market lovers on HN won’t entertain your slander. The book Debt really opened my eyes to a flow of logic demonstrating that in fact markets cannot exist without states (laws) and vice versa. That this idea of pure markets corrupted by governments is a complete fantasy invented whole cloth and worshipped by sycophants for centuries. Markets require contracts, which require laws and enforcement. That’s it.

You aren’t actually arguing again the core argument: contracts, laws, and enforcement don’t require governments. Just because this is the dominant system today doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the only way.

Hobbes layed this all out 300 years ago. But apparently “this time it’s different”.
