But Molinari took matters further to argue that markets were also better at providing the service that the state claimed was its monopoly privilege: the provision of security itself. His contribution, then, was to lead us away from the assumption of Hobbes that somehow the state was necessary to keep society from devolving into chaos. On the contrary, argued Molinari, the voluntary society is the source of order that comes from freedom itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Econ\/Bus\/Finance","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42639897100512,"sku":"Books:9781479205332n","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/61ZyxU46unL._SY522.jpg?v=1777407273","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/production-of-security","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
