To begin with, we will very briefly describe an anarcho-capitalist society in its ideal form, where nothing violates libertarian principles.
In this society, every person is viewed by others as a self-owning subject who acts independently to achieve their goals, bearing responsibility for the consequences of their actions. Everyone strives to reduce all interactions with other people to voluntary relationships. Emerging conflicts are perceived calmly by people as an inevitable consequence of coexistence in society. Conflicts are resolved, as far as possible, amicably or through arbitration, while standard or, conversely, the most complex ones are handled by specialized private competing agencies.
When everyone accepts the freedom of action of everyone else, it creates a high entrepreneurial spirit in society, because people not only dream of how to achieve their goals but also actively implement them.
The entrepreneurial spirit plus the pursuit of voluntary relationships ensure a developed market.
In the market, those carriers of value that are most convenient for market participants circulate as money.
As simple goals are realized, people set increasingly complex ones for themselves.
Complex goals require a deeper division of labor and more developed methods of resource accumulation.
The universe is infinite, and as long as humans are able to push the boundaries of the explored part of the Universe for themselves, they will do so. A society under ancap is expansive and constantly strives to increase its energy capacity, effective speeds, and the range of interaction. Physical limitations hindering this are bypassed whenever possible. Since expansion is limited not only by external boundaries but also by the limitations of the human body, humanity will inevitably move toward transhumanism, but that is a completely different story.
At this point, we will take a breath and state that it is not enough to describe an ideal system; it is necessary to show which mechanisms will allow a real society to approach the described ideal or prevent it from deviating from what has already been achieved. This part of the book will examine exactly such mechanisms.
