I guess if you're ancap, market forces are everything. But the problem with ancap is that it presupposes that all market participants are rational decision-makers. Not saying I support government, I for one fucking hate government. That said, there's something to be said for the necessary evil of a minimalist, night-watchman's state that enforces property rights to maximize free competition among all participants.

A minimal night-watchmen is easily infiltrated and corrupted by corporations who replace all night-watchmen with loyal servants.

The only solution is complete enumerated limitation of power by legal doctrine. We don’t fully have that, since all the rights “reserved to the states or the people” is often looked at as a free lunch by states to absorb all power and the people none.
