Debating the Legitimacy of Anarcho-Capitalism – with Mann Sharma

In this thought-provoking episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz sits down with Mann Sharma, a young and aspiring intellectual in the liberty movement, to debate the legitimacy of anarcho-capitalism.

Is a stateless society truly compatible with individual rights, or does it invite chaos and private tyranny? Together, Michael and Mann explore the moral and practical foundations of government, the role of objective law, and whether freedom can survive without a state.
