文档介绍：Anarchy and Legal Order
This book elaborates and defends the idea of law without the state. Animated by a vision
of peaceful, voluntary cooperation as a social ideal and building on a careful account of
nonaggression, it features a clear explanation of why the state is illegitimate, dangerous,
and unnecessary. It proposes an understanding of how law enforcement in a stateless
society could be legitimate and what the optimal substance of law without the state
might be, suggests ways in which a stateless legal order could foster the growth of a cul-
ture of freedom, and situates the project it elaborates in relation to leftist, anticapitalist,
and socialist traditions.
