Bitácora de Juan Fernando Carpio

David Friedman: "I'm not a utopian. I've never been a utopian. I assume that even in the best institutions we can arrange, rights will sometimes get violated, bad things will sometimes happen. I'm only arguing that a decentralized market approach to the enforcement of rights and the settlement of disputes is likely to result in fewer bad things happening and rights getting violated less often than any of the others."

R.W. Bradford: "My response to the question of what government should do is what convinced Murray Rothbard that I was virtually an anarchist. I think that everything a conventional government does can be privatized, except for one: a supreme court, that is, a court that has jurisdiction over competing private courts. If we don't have one, and David and I are in a lawsuit, and I win in my court and he wins in his, and each of our courts goes out and hires private armies to enforce its decision and the private armies fight it out — what we are engaged in is civil war, not civil society."

David Boaz: "The difference I had with Rand was that she made a tremendous effort to build a philosophical system that only in its final points came to a political philosophy; she believed that it was important to get the metaphysics, the epistemology, the ethics right before you could talk about politics. And this of course was her big disagreement with libertarians: that libertarians believed you could be a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a hedonist, an Objectivist, and still arrive at libertarian political conclusions, and, I think, still believe in a rights-based libertarianism."
