Anarchy state and utopia5/30/2023 Any more extensive activities by the state, he demonstrates, will inevitably violate individual rights. The author argues that the state is justified only when it is severely limited to the narrow function of protection against force, theft and fraud and to the enforcement of contracts. The work that follows is a sophisticated and passionate defence of the rights of the individual as opposed to the state.
