“The Enterprise of Law” Part II

, ,

One of Benson’s primary subjects in his book is the need for police protection. He discusses police protection provided by the government, and then explores the possibility of police being provided by the free market. When the government is in charge of this, like anything, they have no motivation for providing the best product at the lowest cost. “This does not imply that police chiefs and judges will be completely ambivalent to the costs a department or court generates; it means that they are likely to make a relatively smaller effort at monitoring employees to check on wasted time and resources.” He also makes another point about the difference between…

My Journey

It was a little over a year ago when I decided to join the Campaign for Liberty. I had been inspired by Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, and with the rise of the Tea Parties, I realized I wanted to be more involved and active in that movement. It was a big step for me, but I fell into it naturally. I quickly found out that I have good leadership skills, perhaps because I can practice so much on my siblings, but at any rate, I enjoyed working in the Campaign for Liberty. At the time when I joined, I would…
