§ 01
The Idea

What Minarcho-Capitalist actually means.

Minarcho-Capitalism retains a minimal state for security and law enforcement while embracing extreme free-market capitalism.

Seasteading, pioneered by Patri Friedman, embodies Minarcho-Capitalist ideals by seeking to create independent floating communities in international waters. These self-governed structures aim to operate with near-zero taxes, private law enforcement, and voluntary community rules, aligning with minarchist principles of limited state intervention while promoting full economic freedom.
