part 2: Law without Government: Conflict Resolution in a Free Society

This is part 2 of my video series exploring a society

where law is provided not by government, but by competing voluntary institutions.

In this part, Alice is mugged, and her protection agency identifies Bill as the mugger. But Bill protests his innocence. Things start to get interesting when Bill’s protection agency stands by him.

How will the two protection agencies resolve this conflict?

part 3: Law without Government: The Bargaining Mechanism

The third part of my video series

exploring a world with law but without a compulsory monopoly provider of it.

This part looks at a conflict between protection agencies about principles, namely a disagreement about whether the death penalty is a suitable punishment for murderers. It explains how, in a system of competing providers of security and law, consumer preferences for justice are reflected in the policies, decisions and agreements of the protection agencies.

This part is heavily inspired by David Friedman’s The Machinery of Freedom, chapter 29 “Police, Courts, and Laws – on the Market”.
