ABSTRACT
The minarchist believes that the only proper function of government is to protect individuals from aggression. The contemporary individualist anarchists such as Murray Rothbard agree with the overall structure of the Tuckerites: the state is to be abolished and everything is to be handled by, or at least open to the possibility of, competition on the free market. If the economic definition is used, it follows that the more things are handled by the market, the more capitalistic the society. Similarly, the proponents of capitalism traverse the entire political spectrum from anarchism to what may be called "hyperarchism." Only by viewing this array of groups and then comparing the political spectrum of capitalism with the economic spectrum of anarchism can the relative positions of the individualist, or free market, anarchists be ascertained. The unbroken horizontal line across the top indicates the political range of capitalism; the unbroken vertical line indicates the economic scope of anarchism.
