The Cal Libertarians present...
Libertarian Author, Economist, and Professor of Law
David Friedman
"In Defense of Anarchy"
Wednesday, March 18th at 7:00 P.M. in 206 Dwinelle Hall.
Dr. Friedman will make the case for privatizing all functions of
government, including the police, courts, and legislature. He will argue
against democracy and for a polycentric distribution of power, in which
autonomous individuals make their own "treaties."
This form of anarchism is called "anarcho-capitalism" or "libertarian
anarchism" (and is part of the broader individualist anarchist tradition).
Dr. Friedman argues that it would be both more libertarian than any
democratic society, and more stable in the long term.
David Friedman is the author of _The Hidden Order_ and _The Machinery of
Freedom_.
Please bring your comments, questions, and disagreements. I expect there
to be lively debate, since anarchism is not the official position of the
Libertarian Party.
