You can't "tilt markets" your way without serving the customer better than anybody else. it's impossible to do otherwise, unless you can use the state to create barriers to competition, subsidize you so you can undercut artificially, or just plain shut down your competition - all of these things obviously contrary to the best interests of the customer.I think that anarcho-capitalism is one of the few schools of thought that acknowledges man's flaws and, instead of trying to rewrite human nature it attempts to mitigate the negative points while trying to maximize the positive aspects. In the example of the oil-property owner, you have to look at the big picture - the property owner could try to get loans to bring in the capital required to extract and sell the oil. But there's a big risk there - what if you can't find the customers? What if there isn't as much oil as previously thought, or getting it out is a lot harder than originally planned?The prospector is an expert in the field of oil-extraction. He would assume all of the risks (and therefore potential benefits) of extracting and selling the raw oil. The property owner would have to learn this stuff or hire people who know this stuff and put out a tremendous amount of capital in order to do the same thing. If it was a community endeavour then you would have a large layer of bureaucracy to vote every step of the way. the process would be slowed.Did the prospector who up with mercenaries and tell the property-owner "give me this land. I will pay you this much. If you refuse we will either drive you from it or you can fight to the death"? No. He offered a price - if the landowner accepted voluntarily, the details of the transaction are irrelevant. Morally, this was a good thing and everyone involved in the transaction was wealthier for it, else the transaction would never have occurred in the first place.John D. Rockefeller is a good example of capitalist progress. His family today (now that we have a state) are awful. But the original rockefeller was so competitive, so driven to bring oil to American customers, he drove the cost of oil down by 85% single-handedly by increasing supply at a rate we haven't seen since then. People could stay up after dark because they could afford lamp oil (they literally used to go to bed with the sun before this). In fact, his drive for productive progress and PROFIT drove prices down and put out the competing product in the market - whale oil! Environmentalists should love Rockefeller because he literally "saved the wales".If you want accurate economic predictions you just have to look up the Austrian school - they are essentially anarcho-capitalists (laissez-faire capitalism, in the old "left-liberal" french tradition). Ludwig v. Mises, Murray Rothbard, Freidrich Heyek are the main guys, but if you want some deep stuff on anarcho-behavior look up Walter Block. Hans Hermann Hoppe's works on "private law" are awesome. Hayek's work on free market currencies is great (especially if you are interested in something like bitcoin). One of my favorite books of Walter Block's is called "Defending the Undefendable". Just a straight-out slap in the face to moralists and legalists everywhere, and brilliantly written in such a down-to-earth way. He's done a few interviews on environmentalism and capitalism/property rights you can check out too.Best thing about the Austrian School? they don't believe in IP law (copyright/state violence). You can get anything and everything for free from them in digital form. including Human Action, probably the greatest economic treatise in human history to date.
