Fix Notes:
Page xii: par. 0: contemporary
Addressing himself directly to these misperceptions, David Osterfeld throws a great deal of light upon the topic of human freedom in
comtemporary times.
Page 1: par. 1 (right below Chapter 1): anarcho-capitalists
Because the anarchists propose that a definite economic institution, the market, replace the political institution of government, they have been variously referred to as "free market anarchists," "
anarco-capital-ists," and "individualist anarchists."
Page 2: par. 0: political
And, while acknowledging "Stirner’s complete rejection of all
polictical, moral, and traditional ties of the individual," [...]
Page 3: par. 0: American
And the American anarchist, Benjamin Tucker, contended that there were "two schools of Socialistic thought,” the State Socialism of Karl Marx and the Anarchism of Proudhon and the
Amnerican Josiah Warren.
Page 3: par. 0: minarchists
[...] and the twentieth century followers of classical liberalism, the
minarachists, have followed their mentors in rejecting anarchism.
Page 5: par. 2: government
All money spent by
governemnt is useless, says Kropotkin, since there is a definite relationship between crime and poverty.
Page 7: very end of page: anarcho-collectivism
Once this plateau of plenty is reached, the structures of anarcho-communism and
anarch-co11ectivism [...]
Page 9: bottom par.: syndicalism
Not only would
sydicalism have to make entrepreneurial decisions, just as is done under capitalism, but one must question whether "workers’ control" is even possible.
Page 10: bottom par.: between
The three cornerstones of Proudhon’s ideal society are contract, exchange, and property. The state is to be abolished and all relations
betwen individuals and collectives are to be handled by contract.
Page 16: par. 2: monopolies
The way to eliminate these
monoplies is "by subjecting capital to the natural law of competition, thus bringing the price of its use down to cost."
Page 19: bottom par.: government
While Hospers feels that statutory law, and thus a
governemnt, is necessary to insure a rule of law, [...]
Page 26: below section e: minarchism
The objectivists, headed by Ayn Rand, may be viewed as a variant of
minarachism.
Page 28: par. 1: Government
"Mr. Smith, a customer of
Goverment A, suspects that his...neighbor, Mr. Jones, a customer of Government B, has robbed him,"
Page 30: par. 0: miniscule
Of this problem, Mises can merely hope that the majority will exercise such self-restraint that government will remain
miniscle.
Page 37: bottom par.: spectrums
Moreover, the place of the individualist anarchists in both the economic and the political
sepctrums has been pointed out, and the initial groundwork has been laid for the study of individualist anarchism.
Page 41: Footnote 43: Encyclopedia
Enclyclopedia of the Social Sciences
Page 47: near bottom of page: opinion + theoretical
[...] for the maintenance of order in their communities, on the force of public opinion, this introduces the possibility of the "tyranny of public
opinon" in anarchist as well as democratic societies. Thus, "authoritarian-anarchism” is at least a
theorectical possibility.
Page 52: bottom par.: democracy
[...] a tyrant, a group of individuals--an oligarchy, or a majority--a
democaracy, such "human rights" as those of freedom of speech, [...]
Page 56: par. 0: ownership
Second, it is argued that "It is physically impossible for everyone to keep continual tabs on everyone else and thereby to exercise his equal quotal share of partial
ownerhsip over every other man.

Senholz (Princeton: Van Nostrand, 1965), pp. 225-35.

Epitemological Aspects of the Rothbardian Natural Rights Ethic," [...]
Page 83: par. 0: surprising
[..] latter is the embodiment of violence while the former entails voluntary and peaceful exchange of goods, it should not be
suprising that the political means gain at the expense of the economic.
Page 84: par. 2: mighty + government
For if a judicial decree of ’unconstitutional’ is a
mightly check to government power, an implicit or explicit verdict of ’constitutional’ is a mighty weapon in fostering public acceptance of ever-greater
goevernment power."
Page 86: bottom par.: enthusiasm
For wars, at least our modern "democratic" wars which depend for their success on mass support and
enthusiam, are invariably presented in terms of a struggle for righteous and humanitarian goals.
Page 88: par. 0: important
[...] have several
imporant consequences. First, in an effort to stimulate production, price controls for the factors of production will also have to be imposed.
Page 90: par. 1: psychologically
But as Rousseau recognized, and a plethora of sociologists of whom Emile Durkheim was only the most famous have confirmed, man is simply not equipped,
psyhologically, to live in such an atomized and uncertain environment.
Page 92: par. 2: libertarianism
While this analysis of contemporary society is profound, as a criticism of
libertairianism it is based on a misunderstanding.
Page 97: below Figure 2: concentrated
While they are useful for analytical purposes there are few if any "elitists” who believe that power is
concentrationed in the hands of a single person or even a few individuals; similarly, there are few if any "pluralists” who claim that power is infinitely diffused throughout society.
Page 98: right above blockquote: sociologist
[...] wrote Italian political
sociolo-ist Gaetano Mosca,
Page 103: below figure 4: electorate
In fact, what is most interesting is that the better informed the
electroate, the greater the incentive for collusion.
Page 105: par. 2: responsive
This too is a comforting theory. Government is
reponsive to the public, this time not as expressed through political parties but through interest groups.(56)
Page 112: Footnote 35: eliminating
The individual desires to relieve this stress by
eliminat-ting the conflict between his actions and his beliefs.
Page 117: par. 2: Luxemburg
The competing Marxist theory propounded by Rosa
Luxemberg argues that since the capitalist mode of production is predicated upon the exploitation of the workers by the capitalists, [...]
Page 124: par. 3: justification
But, continues Flynn, it will probably not be possible to maintain this heavy military spending without public support and that, in turn, requires a
justifica-cation for the spending.
Page 125: par. 2: commercial
One important consequence of this according to John Hagel is that "
commerical activity abroad will therefore be increasingly supplemented by long-term investment in producing facilities
Page 126: par. 1: further
But the government guarantee of foreign investment in turn serves to encourage still
futher investment abroad, which therefore intensifies the demand on government for still more guarantees.
Page 126: bottom par.: information
Inflation short-circuits, as it were, the
informa-mation flow of the price mechanism and leads the entrepreneurs to grossly overestimate the actual demand for their products.
Page 127: par. 2: Footnote "20" should be 29.

necesssary to preserve peace. The anarchist’s view [...]
Page 131: bottom par.: throughout
But this, in itself, does not prove that it is imperialistic, i.e., that U.S. foreign policy has been designed to promote and protect American corporate interests
thoughout the world.
Page 132: blockquote: political
It rather conclusively shows that genuine security fears; ideological anticommunism; expansionist idealism; or other
policical, strategic, or psychological factors have been at the roots of the United States postwar policies including interventionist. . . behavior.
Page 136: bottom par.: themselves + military
If the interventionist country were militarily strong, or at least stronger than its neighbors, war or imperialism could well present
themsleves as solutions to both of these problems. If the foregoing is correct then one would expect to find that, assuming approximately equal
miliatary power, the more rigidly controlled the economy the more
Page 137: par. 0: dismantling
On the other hand, such policies as the systematic economic rape of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union, including the
dislman-tling of entire factories and their transfer to Russia, certainly suggests that it is imperialistic.
Page 138: par. 1: This
Ths distinction is unfounded.
Page 138: par. 1: Singapore
Countries such as
Singpore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Brazil have all become major exporters of electronic equipment such as TVs and radios.
Page 138: par. 2: manufacturing
This would depend upon such factors as what resources a country needed but had to import, what manufacturing industries it possesses and the relative mixture of resource extraction and
manaufacturing.
Page 139: par. 1 (near halfway): This
Ths last option is logical only on the assumption that it was Roosevelt’s intention to get America into the war.
Page 139: par. 1 (near bottom page): possibility
Another explanation is that Roosevelt sincerely believed that the total destruction of Western civilization was a distinct
possiblity in the absence of American intervention against Nazi Germany.

Thus,
whlie one cannot dismiss the possibility that at least some wars have been caused primarily by the attempts of political [...]

What Plato desired was the replacement of the "opinions" of politics by the "truth" of
philosphy.
Page 168: par. 0: ignorance
With a view of securing such freedom among its members it is as certainly within the province of the State to prevent children from growing up in that kind of
ignornance which practically excludes them from a career in life, as it is within its province to require the sort of buildings and drainage necessary for public health.
Page 172: Footnote 8: "Jean-Jacque Rousseau" needs to be "Jean-Jacques Rousseau"
Page 174: Footnote 32 doesn't exist.
Page 174: Footnote 39: utilitarianism
For a brilliant critique of
utilitariansim from a slightly different angle
Page 182: par. 1: sovereignty
Hence, the
soveriegnty of the individual required the complete individualization of society which, in turn, implied that every individual bear the cost of his own actions. As Warren put it:
Page 185: par. 2: burden
Cost being the limit of price would put a stop to all fluctuations in prices and in trade, . . . compel every one to produce as much as he consumed, would distribute the
burthern of labor among all, and reduce the [...]
Page 187: bottom par.: uncertainty
The "cost" of any loan transaction, however, would include all sacrifice or burden endured by the lender, including that of
uncertainity or risk.
Page 190: par. 0: exchange
As Heywood remarked, "since money is the common measure of products, and
exhange must be made in the accepted currency, [...]
Page 193: par. 1: acquisition
Since the notes would be non-interest-bearing, they would be redeemable only in products, and, hence, the only reason any individual would have for joining the bank would be to facilitate the
acquisiton of money.
Page 196: par. 1: equivalent
If, then, land titles were based on the principles of equity, viz., the exchange of labor for an
equival-lent amount of labor, ownership could not extend beyond actual occupancy and rent would be eliminated.
Page 203: par. 1: obligation
Consequently, man has no legal
obli-igation to others except that which he voluntarily contracts to accept.
Page 207: bottom par.: applicability
[...] will be submitted to juries which will judge not only the facts, but the justice of the law, its

But in such a society voluntary
acquiesence is highly improbable.
Page 232: par. 1: political
[...] I believe, the path taken by such
poltical scientists as Robert Dahl, [...]
Page 232: par. 3: Lasswell
But if the Dahl-
Lawwell-Kaplan approach is followed power is clearly not ubiquitous.
Page 237: par. 1: situation
The
siutuation is identical for acts of private discrimination.
Page 243: below section c: official
Approximately 12 percent of the population of the United States have, according to
offical statistics, incomes below the poverty line.
Page 247: par. 5: productivity
The root of the problem, therefore, is not the low
productivitiy of the unskilled worker.
Page 248: par. 1: eliminate
But the effect of such regulations as the minimum wage and licensing restrictions is to
eliminiate just those jobs
Page 249: par. 2: slumlord
This is unfortunate but not only is he not responsible for this condition, the
slumloard, regardless of his motives, helps the poor make the best of their bad situation.
Page 249: par. 3: disappeared
Consider what would happen, Block asks, if slums and slumlords suddenly
disapeared.
Page 251: par. 0: entrance
But if the monopolist would then try to recoup his losses after such a purchase by raising prices, he would only encourage the
entrace of new competitors, thus necessitating the "buying out” process all over again.
Page 253: par. 0: political
[...] desire to represent the views of the community, the signals conveyed to the
politcal leaders will almost invariable depart from the actual state of demand by the community.
Page 255: par. 1: money
It then becomes clear that this
moeny did not represent additional saving but only the illusion of additional saving.
Page 257: par. 1: stabilize
According to the proponents of contra-cycl1ca1 policies, government is supposed to
stablilize the economy by reducing taxes and increasing expenditures in times of economic downturns in order to increase aggregate spending and thus stimulate the economy.

Since Larry has a large family and a risky occupation, being a window washer on a

With this in mind we can now examine the specifics of the
anarachists paradigm.

Page 284: par. 2: absence
But in the
absense of compulsory state education these controversies would disappear, for a wide variety of educational alternatives would present themselves on the free market.

Thus, an
un-realiable testing agency would soon face bankruptcy.

Further, they believe that a private voluntary educational system would be able to
funish high quality education at a lower cost than any alternat1ve.

While such reforms might prove successful in the very short run, the belief that such a

On the contrary it is that the supplier may be in a position to

Page 314: par. 1: paradigm
In short, up to this point the libertarian
pradigm must be pronounced sound.
Page 315: Footnote 2: "Public Services Under Laiseez Faire" should be "Public Services Under Laissez Faire"
Page 316: very end of Footnote 37: Stanford
(Stanford:
Standford University Press, 1961).
Page 317: near end of Footnote 38: "Drug Prohibiton" should be "Drug Prohibition"
Page 326: bottom par.: legislation
But if law need not be a command from above, i.e., either enacted by a
legistature or imposed by a king, how did it emerge and, more importantly, acquire validity for the members of the society?
Page 327: par. 2: significance
Whatever the relation between custom and legislation in ancient Roman law, there can be little doubt as the relatively greater
signficance of custom in the English common law.
Page 328: par. 1: decision
Since a judge’s decision was immediately binding only on the parties to a dispute, and since a single maverick
decison would have little impact on the body of the law, a single judge was helpless to change the law.
Page 332: par. 1: flexibility
It is probably impossible to say precisely what is the "best" mix of stability and
flexibilty.
Page 335: bottom par.: axiom + incompatible
The anarchist replied that the natural rights minarchist was himself in a contradiction since the libertarian ”non-aggression
axion" was, strictly speaking,
imcompatible with government. Probably both are right: the anarchist because government is inconceivable without at least some initiated coercion; and the minarchist because there is little doubt that the common law would ever become the complete exemplification of pure libertarianism.
Page 338: end of blockquote: more enforcement
Thus, a substantial move toward standardization would occur in the treatment of crimes of violence and infractions of commercial codes, while diversity would persist in the demand for
mores-enforcement.
Page 339: par. 1 (near middle of page): building
This law would be binding only on the parties directly concerned and would last only as long as the individual remained a tenant in that
buiding.
Page 343: bottom par.: difficulty
There would be no
diffculty if both courts reached the same decision.
Page 346: bottom par.: unreliable
The anarchists believe that this would be unlikely since, argue the Tannehills, such a man would be very
unrealiable and other businessmen would, out of their own self-interest, cease doing business with him.
Page 350: par. 0: Friedman
[...] be suicidal,"
Freidman says, for "unless they maintained a reputation for honesty, they would have no customers [...]
Page 351: par. 2: philosopher
But
philospher John Hospers argues that the agency could also use its dominant position to victimize rather than to protect "its" clients.
Page 351: bottom par.: irresistible
But if the advantages of being a client of the dominant agency are so
irresistable, and if, as Nozick comments, "economies of scale" are positively correlated with increased size, the "the protection agency of optimal size will include the whole world."
Page 352: par. 1: Footnote "60" should be 66.
Page 353: below section 23: dominance
Another criticism is that there would be nothing to prevent an agency from using force to conquer or absorb weaker agencies until it attained a position of unchallenged
domiance, which it could then use to exploit its subjects. In contrast to the previous objection, the Mafia Agency would achieve its
domiance through aggression rather than economic competition.
Page 354: par. 1: anarchist
If an agency initiated violence against individuals who were not its customers, continues the
anarachist scenario, it would be forced to deal with their defense agencies.
Page 355: bottom par.: situation
The possibility of collusion among several agencies would not alter the
situtation.
Page 360: par. 1: governments
There have always been groups of people in human society who have been inadequately protected by their
governemnts.
Page 360: par. 1: adequate
Few can contend that American blacks or Russian Jews receive
adquate protection from their governments.
Page 361: par. 1: generally
Once the label "public" is attached to a good or service it is
genrally assumed that only the government can supply it.
Page 361: bottom par.: rehabilitation
There are four basic paradigms of punishment:
rehabilitiation, deterrence, retribution, and restitution.
Page 367: par. 0: rehabilitation
[...] market principles to the problem of aggression provides a built-in
rehabilitiation system.
Page 369: par. 1: indiscriminate
These weapons are ipso facto engines of
indiscrimini-nate mass destruction [...]
Page 370: bottom par.: necessary
"No army could grow beyond what the market would support, and the market would never support an army larger than was actually
necessry for defense, because force is a non-productive expenditure of energy."
Page 372: par. 1: psychological
More importantly, the increasing use of repression and violence against individuals who were clearly innocent and nonviolent could provoke a moral and
pscyhological disorientation among the invader’s soldiers charged with carrying out the repressions against the civilian population.
Page 372: par. 1: casualties
And the fact that all of the
casualities would be suffered by the civilian population would no doubt take a heavy psychological toll on the members of the civilian defense.
Page 386: bottom par.: externalities
[...] does not believe that it can function effectively in the area of "collective goods" and "
externalitites" and concludes that the state is necessary to supply these types of goods and to coordinate policy in this area.
Page 387: par. 1: believes
[...] the anarchist argument will not be persuasive. Similarly, if one
belives that certain goods are "inherently collective," rather than simply "legally collective," then the anarchist argument will likewise not be convincing.
Page 389: bottom par.: charities
But then it should also be pointed out that
charitites currently collect billions of dollars each year, and there is no reason to believe that this figure would be lower in a taxless society.
Page 390: right before list: possibilities
This creates four
possiblities:
Page 391: under section f: proposition
But the position of the natural rights anarchist hinges on the
pro-positon that, given his moral principles, government is, ipso facto, morally unjustifiable.
