****. In a complete laissez-faire market there would be private security, private firemen, etc. etc. They actually used to have firemen who you had to sign up for and basically pay protection money to to assure they would put your house out if it was on fire. Society just decided that those things are vital for everyone, not just the rich, so essentially we socialized them. For some idiotic reason the United States hasn't gotten there with healthcare yet, even though with their propensity for gun ownership you'd think they'd have abolished the police and let citizens enforce everything.
