Without laws, you have anarchy. Laws create the institutions necessary to have an economy capable of creating wealth.

Without laws you don't have anarchy, you just have rule of strongest. Anarchy can have laws but no authority that enforces them.

If we moved into a world without government and laws, it'd be replaced by a sort of modernized feudalism. Not anarchy.
