Anarcho-capitalism

Anarcho-capitalism is a political ideology that synthesises beliefs from capitalism and anarchy. It's adherents believe in the the elimination of centralized nation states in favour of of a system of pure private property enforced by private agencies, free markets and self-ownership without the need for laws or the state.

In the absence of the nation state, anarcho-capitalists suppose that society will inevitably contractually self-regulate and participation in the free market will sustain or replace the need for public goods.

See cryptoanarchism, post-state technocracy and technolibertarianism.
