Meet other anarcho-capitalists, market-anarchists etc for an enjoyable monthly lunch. For once, get to talk politics at lunch without ruining the party :)

This group is purposefully narrow. It's great that you're a Libertarian, a constitutionalist concerned with the erosion of freedom, a pacifist, an anarcho-curious minarchist, *BUT* please understand that the point of this group is to be restricted to anarcho-capitalists only.

This is not a statement about your worth as a human being, we just want an harmonious lunch.

If you are interested in *discovering* anarcho-capitalism, may I suggest that you read any or all of the following:

- Machinery of Freedom, by David D. Friedman (http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Libertarian/Machinery_of_Fr...)
- Power and Market, by Murray N. Rothbard (http://mises.org/rothbard/mes.asp)
- For a New Liberty (http://mises.org/rothbard/newlibertywhole.asp)
- The New Libertarian Manifesto, by Samuel S. Konkin (http://flag.blackened.net/daver/anarchism/nlm/nlm.html)

This calls for an important reminder:

Anarcho-capitalism is not the same as a libertarian order, but:

- It is one of the very few forms of society compatible with libertarian principles
- There are good arguments that it tends to spontaneously produce a libertarian order

Not all libertarian orders are anarcho-capitalist. Anarcho-capitalism emphasizes capitalism and free market, i.e. an economic system based on the private ownership of means of production, wage labor, contracts, and free trade of good services and securities using some form of money.

In particular we generally think that

- Voluntary socialism (e.g. monks making cheese) is harmless and kind of cute, but not our thing.
- Gift, barter, labor-value whatever economies are generally the product of aesthetic concerns rather than genuine economic thinking.
- Post scarcity economies are interesting to speculate on but we're definitely not there yet.
