It\'s for this reason that Hoppe calls this book an outstanding yet much neglected analysis of the operation of competition..
It deals with private arbitration agencies in managing with disputes and criminality, the role of insurers in providing profitable incentives for security, and private agencies in their capacity as protection services.
Their discussion of this controversial topic is integrated into their libertarian theoretical apparatus.
They start at the beginning with the idea of the individual and his rights, work their way through exchange and the market, expose government as the great enemy of mankind, and then-and here is the great surprise-they offer a dramatic expansion of Market logic into areas of security and defense provision.
This book is very radical in the true sense of that term: it gets to the root of the problem of government and provides a rethinking of the whole organization of society.
Clearly, the authors fell in love with Liberty and the free market, and wrote an engaging, book-length sonnet to these ideas.
More than that, these authors put pen to paper at precisely the right time in their intellectual development, that period rhapsodic freshness when a great truth had been revealed, and they had to share it with the world.
Written by two authors-Morris and Linda Tannehill-just following a period of intense study of the writings of both Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard, it has the pace, energy, and rigor you would expect from an evening\'s discussion with either of these two giants.
The Market for Liberty is that second type of classic, and what a treasure it is.
But other classics are written in a white heat during the moment of discovery, with prose that shines forth like the sun pouring into the window of a time when a new understanding brings in the world into focus for the first time.
Some great books are the product of a lifetime of research, reflection, and labored discipline.
