Re: Convert me.
[ QUOTE ]
What specifically do you currently believe should be the state's role in society?
Personally, reading a ton of articles on Mises.org was enough to "convert" me. Maybe we can find some articles that address the specific areas that you aren't quite convinced would work w/o the state.

Not exactly sure at this point. I mean, the tired argument about roads has been long debunked. Matters of law and order seem to be a stronger argument for a state--police, courts, prisons, etc. I know this could turn into a "What would AC do about X?" thread, but that's not what I'm getting at. I know nobody knows exactly what would happen sans state, but I guess I'm looking for a more fundamental understanding of AC and why I should trust it to be better than statism in all or almost all areas.
I'm sure most of my assumptions about the state are things I've just accepted as given my whole life, so now I'm looking to challenge those assumptions and see if any actually stand up.
