Yet one more time when I really wish the entire archive of the extropy
email list was online so that a quick pointer could be provided since
polycentric law and related topics were discussed very early on.

If people are really interested in these questions then just google for
"polycentric law" and also read the many essays on privately provided
non-government protection services.  Of course there will be many
criticisms of these ideas and I am all for criticism of all ideas.  What
I would suggest is that those making the criticism also apply the same
level and types of criticism to their own pet ideas.
