The Machinery Of Freedom By David Friedman

Title: The Machinery of Freedom: Guide to a Radical Capitalism Author: David D. Friedman Format / Edition: Used paperback (1989) Condition: Used – Fair (cover shows wear, spine may be bent or creased, pages intact though may include light highlighting or marginalia) Description: This influential work advocates for an anarcho-capitalist society where private property, voluntary cooperation, and competing providers replace the traditional role of the state. Friedman explores how key functions—law, arbitration, defense—could be provided in a free-market framework rather than by a government monopoly. The book is ideal for readers interested in libertarian economics, law & economics, political philosophy, or alternative visions of societal structure. Why it’s noteworthy: Friedman presents a compelling case for how law and security might function outside a state monopoly, using examples and economic reasoning. The 1989 revised edition includes updated material and remains a formative text in libertarian and anarcho-capitalist literature. Listing Details: All pages present and readable; binding intact though visibly used.
