These essays address the most contentious areas of disagreement between anarcho-capitalists and minarchist libertartans: the creation of Law (essay entitled 'Private Law') and the handling of War (essay on 'Private War').

Murphy gives a short discussion and some examples of how these functions might be better handed by individuals than by any government. There are worthwhile thoughts included for anyone seeking to downsizse government, but you need to look elsewhere for an overview of the anarcho-capitalist world.
