Imagine a society where a government no longer monopolizes law enforcement. In this social arrangement, the responsibility for community safety shifts. Because nature abhors vacuums—and criminals love ‘em—private firms, clubs, and mutual aid societies will step in.
Such is life in New America, where a decentralized network of private protection firms has replaced traditional monopoly police forces in some territory. At first, this might seem chaotic or unworkable:
How on earth could a society function without a centralized authority to enforce the law?
New Americans have built a system that works, driven by market competition, accountability, and self-sovereign choices. Let’s see if we can overcome failures of imagination that too often limit our understanding of what’s possible with reform.
