Section Eight: Insurance and Incentives
THIS BRINGS ON THE LAST PROBLEM. WE HAVE SEEN THAT JUST AS all property is private, all defense must be insured individually by capitalized insurance agencies, very much like industrial accident insurance. Yet, we have also seen that both forms of insurance differ in one fundamental respect. In the case of defense insurance, the location of the insured property matters. The premium per insured value will be different at different locations.
Section Nine: Insuring Against State Aggression
YET WHAT ABOUT DEFENSE AGAINST A STATE? HOW WOULD insurers protect us from state aggression?
Section Ten: Regaining Our Right to Self-Defense
I HAVE THUS COME FULL CIRCLE WITH MY ARGUMENT. FIRST, I HAVE shown that the idea of a protective state and state protection of private property is based on a fundamental theoretical error, and that this error has had disastrous consequences: the destruction and insecurity of all private property and perpetual war.
