I think it makes some good points, though I am confused / disagree with

> The problem here is that our legal system is fundamentally oriented around individual rights, not group rights. No group has the property right to any individual. (No group, that is, other than the state). We recognize no legally protected rights of any non-state organization to the attention or time of any person. So deals between groups cannot be made, and reducing transaction costs between individuals will reliably lead, not to Paretotopia, but to the extinction of small groups and the increasing dominance of the state.

I mean... isn't corporations and nonprofits and stuff ... a group that has property and "rights" and stuff? I get that they don't have human rights, but I'm missing something here ...
