Notable Quote

"Without the erroneous public perception and judgment of the state as just and necessary and without the public's voluntary cooperation, even the seemingly most powerful government would implode and its powers evaporate.

Hoppe, Hans-Hermann event 2009

From The Private Production of Defense

Context: On what sustains state power, and what a world without it could look like.
