Grayson, is there ever any risk of a class filling up or do all courses have an unlimited enrollment?
How many days/hours etc are these courses?
This is the wrong time for me to be broke-ass poor. ![]()
Maybe Robert Murphy can use Hernando de Soto’s work on extralegal systems as part of the empirical evidence for anarchy. It may not be properly described as anarchy but it may show how legal systems spontaneously evolve out of customs and so on.
posted a link to the course on the global AnCap Facebook page.

(This is the sound of the agonizing inner turmoil of a very cheap person really wanting to take part in this course but is unsure if he has the time or money).
Gah, fine. I’ll not outright refuse right now. In fact, I’m very much leaning towards it if I have the money… But I want to know how much time this would take, when it is, etc. I can’t let this get in the way of college, as much as I want to do it.
Thanks Joe!
Inviting competition, spurring advances in quality, incentivizing creation of variants/subniches and a reduction in prices for all.
Three cheers for LvMI and Lilburne taking the entreprenerial risk to begin the process of pricing Austro-libertarian knowledge!
Could you post a link to the Facebook page? Thanks.
Which of these Peter Leeson pieces should be included in Bob Murphy’s market anarchy online course?
“An-arrgh-chy: The Law and Economics of Pirate Organization” (Journal of Political Economy).
“Trading with Bandits” (Journal of Law and Economics)
“Social Distance and Self-Enforcing Exchange” (Journal of Legal Studies)
“Efficient Anarchy” (Public Choice)
“The Laws of Lawlessness” (Journal of Legal Studies)
“Coordination without Command: Stretching the Scope of Spontaneous Order” (Public Choice)
got links?
based on titles, I would go with the laws of lawlessness with trading with bandits as second choice
Links added above (except for the last one, which I couldn’t find for free).
Judging by their abstracts, the order you currently have them in is also the order I would put them in. I plan to read them all though
Any ideas for in-course debate topics? Bob and I are building a list, but we could use more input!
Free rider/collective action problem
Security and the calculation problem
PDA predation
I guess it depends on the makeup of the class. Is it going to be minarchists vs. anarchists or more like arguments amongst anarchists like natural rights folks vs. consequentialist folks. Then it seems to be that everybody has their own twist on defense/security/courts/dispute resolution; I am not really sure how to boil that down to a concise debate topic, but I feel like there might be one in there somewhere on how the whole thing might ‘run’
Then there are all the various transition topics. How to convince enough people, how to finally ‘overthrow’ the state, how to survive in the fledgling stage when surrounded by other states, etc.
Reminder: this anarchy course starts Monday!
Doesn’t it start Tuesday?
Oops… yes, correct!
