''The Structure of Liberty'' is a book by legal theorist Randy Barnett which offers a libertarian theory of law and politics. Barnett calls his theory ''the liberal conception of justice'', emphasizing the relationship between legal libertarianism and classical liberalism. Barnett argues that private adjudication and enforcement of law, with market forces eliminating inefficiencies and inequities, is the only legal system that can provide adequate solutions to the problems of interest, power, and knowledge. Barnett uses the term "polycentric constitutional order" for anarcho-capitalism〔Hoppe, Hans-Hermann, ''(Anarcho-Capitalism: An Annotated Bibliography )''〕 in his argument in favor of this philosophy. ==Problems in human interaction== Barnett's argument for the liberal conception focuses on three problems of human interaction: * the problem of knowledge—each individual has unique knowledge about his or her own interests and situation and about how resources can best be used. * the problem of interest—each individual has self-interests which can be coordinated through the creation of decentralized property rights. * the problem of power—given that those with the power to impose punishments will be partial to their own interests, the power to punish or to use force to compel restitution is likely to be abused. Barnett argues that each of these problems must be solved in order for individuals to be able to pursue their happiness under conditions of social peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Structure of Liberty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
