Thanks a lot for your contributions! I appreciate it, and I am glad that so many were willing to help. The reason as to why I wanted these was due to a new project of mine; making some sort of FAQ/guide to laissez-faire in my native language.

Hello everyone, I was hoping for you to contribute with every fallacy and myth that you know of as to laissez-faire capitalism.

Hello! First of all, I am greatful for all the quick and great answers I have received; thanks a lot! I would like to remind you all, again, that I consider myself an anarcho-capitalist. However, I was mildly confused as to the creation and retention of the general law. Josh: I am not mentioning freedom of association at all. In fact, I imply that I

I favour an anarcho-capitalistic system in regards to everything: economy, interpersonal relations etc. However, one single thing is still not quite right; the legal system of anarcho-capitalism. Another thread on the forum (called "Law in "practice" in an anarcho-capitalistic society") deals somewhat with this problematique. But
