“[Law] has acted in direct opposition to its proper end; it has destroyed its own object; it has been employed in annihilating that justice which it ought to have established, (…) it has converted plunder into a right, that it may protect it, and lawful defense into a crime, that it may punish it.” - The Law, Bastiat

“Under customary law, individuals had reciprocal incentives to recognize their rules of obligation and to participate in enforcement of such rules. The adversarial nature of authoritarian law that pits group against group in the taking/transfer process promotes disorder rather than order. Indeed, under government law, individuals have incentives not to participate in a cooperative effort to maintain order.” - Bruce L. Benson
