I use the following table for classification of political and economic institutions.\u00a0 The rationale for this derives, in part, from Max Weber’s claim that the necessary condition for capitalism is the existence of free-laborers. A free-laborer is a vagabond, a homeless person.\u00a0 \u00a0And he is in this condition because he does not have lawful access to free land on which to subsist.\u00a0 And this permission for land occupancy must be granted either by a centralized government (called the State) or by a communal government (mutual agreement).<\/p>\n
The box occupied by anarcho-capitalism, neoliberalism, and libertarianism is paradoxical.\u00a0 \u00a0Imagine a\u00a0 group of people, who are all equal in rights, and who land on an\u00a0 uninhabited island. How is it possible to start a capitalist system without violence?\u00a0 Remember that a necessary condition for capitalism is the existence of people who do not have free access to land.\u00a0 In that case, some of them have to be deprived of this access by some means — force? persuasion? trickery? toss of a coin?<\/p>\n
