88: The Government Shutdown: Is Government Itself Non-Essential?

The Government Shutdown continues, which means that all “non-essential” personnel are currently furloughed. But this raises the question: what functions of government are essential? In this episode, I take a closer look at anarcho-capitalism, which would answer: no government functions are essential.

Topics Covered:

  • The Shutdown – Is the Government Really Shut Down?
  • Who is Non-Essential?
  • The Five Functions of Government
  • Arguments for Anarchy
