Anarchy Unbound
Why Self-Governance Works Better Than You Think
Book • 2014
In 'Anarchy Unbound,' Peter T. Leeson uses rational choice theory to explore the benefits of self-governance.
The book provides evidence from past and present cases where anarchy has functioned effectively, often in scenarios where it is least expected.
Leeson argues that self-governance can outperform state-provided governance, especially when the costs of government exceed its benefits.
He examines both 'easy-case' and 'hard-case' anarchy, demonstrating how private individuals can secure social cooperation without government through various mechanisms and institutions.
