Stateless Society: Frech on Rothbard

Various members of the academic community have attempted to attack Murray Rothbard's political and economic theories. One attempt made by H. E. Frech III in "The Public Choice Theory of Murray N. Rothbard, A Modern Anarchist" is quite disappointing in that it deals very superficially with many important areas of Rothbard's work. This paper, however, will examine only one of Frech's perfunctory criticisms — his charge that Rothbard's theory of the stateless society is self-contradictory. The reasonableness of Frech's arguments will be determined.
