2.5. Summary

The second part of the book attempted to outline the specific real-world difficulties faced by people striving to build their lives on libertarian principles, and how an anarcho-capitalist social structure is capable of countering these difficulties.

We briefly touched upon topics such as the economic analysis of law and the theory of spontaneous orders (and, more broadly, the theory of human action, also known as praxeology). For a detailed examination of these topics, I suggest the reader refer to the works of David Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and Ludwig von Mises.

In any case, we have seen that for a society based on libertarian principles to exist, it is not required that everyone be flawless libertarians. This state has self-defense mechanisms. And the construction of a libertarian society is a process that can become self-sustaining. In the third part of the book, we will examine in more detail various approaches to how to launch this process.
