I beg to differ, Anarcho-Capitalism is a very well though out point of view. All the things youve listed here can be considered economic goods. If the state were to no longer off public schools, welfare, foreign defense, law enforcement, public roads/transportation, or health care, I can guarantee that some private businesses would offer them. I can say this with certainty because there is money to be made off of each and everyone of these services. One might argue that the services offered privately would be shotty in comparison to what the state currently offers. This is a valid argument, but consider the nature of capitalism; you want to offer the very best product at the absolute lowest price possible. Competition will drive the price down, while simultaneously driving quality up.

If you are truly interested in this line of thinking I'd recommend a book by Dr. Phillip D Friedman, called The Machinery of Freedom. Its a direct cost/benefit of a state vs no state society. And like all good anarcho-capitalist literature its available free on-line! The biggest concern most people show when discussing an anarcho-capitalist society is how will laws and law enforcement be handled. People want to feel protected, and dont mind sacrificing a few freedoms if it means guaranteeing this. This is a valid concern, but instead of diving into a 10 page dissertation of laws and law enforcement on the free market, ill direct you to this link, which has done all the work for me.

You remind me of that college dude in the bar scene in "Good Will Hunting". The one that regurgitates crap that he read in a book or parrots the same exact thing that his professor told him in class. Do you have original thought....ever!
