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?
I've already pointed out why there wouldn't be toll roads everywhere. In fact, out of all the business models available for roads it seems like the worst one available to me. But then I am looking at it from a business standpoint. Not a position where I'm freaking out about the possibility of "no govt, no roads".
If you have a road you want to encourage throughput on it. Otherwise, what's the point?
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.
Like the way that shopping centres which maintain the roads and parking spaces in their car park complain about freeloaders, you mean?
It doesn't matter to them because the costs of maintaining them are so small compared to the profits they make. They don't want to scare away potential future customers by complaining about the "freeloaders".
i didn't read why you think toll roads wouldn't be everywhere.
and also, who builds the highways between towns/cities? the businesses too? so the amount they want to contribute is voluntary? someone's going to feel like a party is not paying their fair share, and there would be dischord. how would that get settled?
i don't get how you got to the "costs are so small compared to the profits they make." road maintenance is probably not cheap.
ancient tribal groups were anarchistic, and they killed/dominated each other until there was one ruler. great nations came as a result.
