Kaleb Matson argues that politics is pointless and the market will naturally beat government. Cool stuff. He really does a great job of looking at stateless alternatives (even if I disagree with a few of them).

I haven't read the article yet, but as I see it, the only way for government to actually beat the market is for humanity to wipe itself out. From what I understand, that's not an impossibility.

What would 'goverment beating the market' entail? And what is the present and historical relation between the two?

I have no clue. I think he meant it as a half-joke.
