Heey kangaroo people, when will you have your Mises Institute too? Maybe someday when there's Institutes in all English-speaking countries, we can tell that LvMI isn't the best, it's top 5 like Kinsella said! And yes you were quite lucky with your version of socialdemocracy.

Nothing could be done. The whole stateless society would collapse and lead to a reptilian nazi-dictatorship. That's why we must bury the whole consept of anarcho-capitalism.

Maybe state is a remnant of our past tribal times, when we didn't have that much intelligence. It was just at the last century when some people realized that society could work without it, and just at the late 90's we got the technology to challenge those groups who can decide about things.

[quote]Does anybody think the unusual backfiring nature of some market policies is that they make the state more efficient?[/quote] Yes. These Hayek-inspired socialdemocrats(Thatcher and Reagan) have just prolonged paralytic lifetime of the state for a couple more years/decades. I'm quite sure that by this recession politicians are forced to do
