as far as public infrastructure, i think private companies will create roads.. but then you'd have toll roads everywhere. and since men are not created equal, one guy might climb to the top of the ladder and own all the roads. what happens then, when he charges you exorbitant fees?

That's a terrible business model Tongue  Nobody would drive if you charged to drive on them, and then how would businesses get consumers?  The point of roads is to lead to business, not to charge for the privilege.

well how else would the people who create the roads make money?

I'm not suggesting an American libertarian, or anarcho-capitalist system here. The examples I gave were of real anarchic movements, that is, without hierarchy. Infrastructure was still created and maintained, without the need of anyone in particular owning it.

im curious as to how that would work? how would roads be created then, if no one owned them? who'd put the money out to get them built? if businesses pooled their money together to build roads, they would start complaining if someone who did not use any of their services or goods used the roads.. because that'd be freeloading.
