In this discussion of Rothbard's seminal essay on the nature of the state, "The Anatomy of the State," Ryan McMaken takes a look at the state as a unique organization with a monopoly on the means of coercion. This organization, which is not to be confused with society in general, has its own ways of preserving itself and relating to other states.
