The Public Sector, Part 2: Streets and Roads
Abolition of the public sector, wrote Murray Rothbard, means of course that all pieces of land, all land areas, including streets and roads, would be owned privately: by individuals, corporations, cooperatives, or any other voluntary groupings of individuals and capital. The fact that all streets and land areas would be private would by itself solve many of the seemingly insoluble problems of private operation. What we need to do is to reorient our thinking to consider a world in which all land areas are privately owned.
