These are socioeconomic philosophies based on
the primacy of individual rights and responsibilities.
They hold that the only agreements that should bind
an individual are those contracts into which he freely
enters, and that unregulated economic activity in a
society that cherishes both personal freedom and individual
property rights will lead to an efficient economy
and greater prosperity. They differ from traditional conservatives
and modern liberal democrats in advocating
both fiscal and personal freedom. If someone’s actions
don’t harm others, then he should be free to do as he likes.
They disapprove of taxing people to pay for social welfare,
but believe that a free, untaxed economy will create
plenty of jobs, with wealth left over for charity and freedom
to move to where work can be found.

There are various contending schools of
thought in this tradition. Two that are gaining popularity
in 2100 are:
* '''Minarchists''' believe that the largest justified government
is one that is limited to protection of individuals and
their private property against physical invasion; government
should provide police, a constitution, courts, and
national defense only. Minarchists are a growing “third
party” in the United States, and have held power in Australia
and in the Union of Alberta and British Columbia.
* '''Anarchocapitalists''' believe that any government is
too much government. Security and court services can be
offered in the marketplace by competitive firms. Laws
develop through custom, precedent, and contracts (much
as the British legal system did). Private police and judges
negotiate agreements in advance to prevent arrests turning
into warfare. Silas Duncan Station and several other
Duncanite stations are functional anarchocapitalist societies.
