I find the ideas in this book intriguing, but I think the specific systems pushed in this book are unrealistic to what an actual free-market society would look like. To me, it seems like he's created the worlds most complicated social credit system

Heads up: this book is not about chaos theory. It's about market anarchy, which is basically just American-style neoliberal capitalism, but without any government.
He's basically just suggesting that we switch governments for lawyers and insurance companies. I found the book very America-centric. He didn't consider the benefits of state-sponsored healthcare and education, or address any of the social justice questions that plague both the anarchist and the neoliberal movements.

Deserves four stars for what it is: two short essays on private law/arbitration and private defense speculating on their potential in a hypothetical anarchist society. I see these as floor level introductory pieces to an eventual fleshed out whole. Other reviews have valid criticisms but a lot don't apply because they're based on a premise that Murphy should have expounded on everything he mentioned. That wasn't his intention and his work should be judged for what it actually is.
