Economics of Anarchy?
What would the economics of an anarchist country be like? they couldn't be either communist or capitalist so how do anarchists expect people to get food?


thanks

By working. I think anarchy is part communist (nobody owns anything) and part capitalist (anyone can buy anything they want with all of their money, and can do anythign to get money). I'm not sure what is meant by purely anarchic, but I would see something that would probably degenerate into theft, with no rights to property, and not really having money as we have it. Although I could be completely wrong

Exactly, and it would turn into i can beat you up so give me all your possessions. Both communism and capitalism require law and order.

Assuming such a system could exist I'm sure people would use a medium of exchage. Probably gold.

Well considering that all anarchists are either hard-core socialists or hard-core capitalists you might want to reconsider that

Depends on the anarchist you're talking to.

I don't think they are either, but the socialists here have some kind of sets and subsets rule.
