Last week I read "Chaos Theory" by Bob Murphy, which has two essays: "Private Law" and "Private Defense." The first one is super convincing—like, it could even turn a fair-minded commie into an Ancap!
The second essay is good but not as strong; I think it struggles with the Free Riding problem. It would’ve been more compelling if Bob had framed it like, "Imagine there are ten thousand Liechtensteins in Europe," and then brought in private armies and insurance companies to avoid geographical free riding. Still, I definitely recommend reading it. Check it out here:
