The purpose of this essay is to address the role of government for private market and to find out the extent and the scope that government’s involvement with private establishments can be justified by economics. It seems to be assumed that government has a fundamental and necessary role in the business of private enterprises. This is not merely an assumption—it is the current paradigm and dogma.

Inc. and the Aristocracy of Prison Profits” is a good case in point how the law is turned into a business driven by high level politics.
The Dunwalke-website puts it another way: “Make a law, make a business.” — Old New Jersey street saying.

However just by watching the news it’s nothing new to realise that these powers are also used against the very people who give them to its agent, the state.

A life without a state above its people is possible and here’s an excellent excerpt from Murray N. Rothbard’s The Ethics of Liberty about The Right to Self-defense.
