The law has an intrinsic nature with the<br>market economy and yet is ignored by its researchers. The libertarian legal theories allow us to fully understand that since its inception, the law is a means of structuring the behaviors of individuals. And the stronger and spontaneous were its institutions, the more the society thrived. Nevertheless, the State significantly weakened the pillars of the law, seizing its foundations and making itself its sole operator, rotting its most vital roots. We must treat the State as a player in the vast market of government. In so doing, it will be responsible for its mistakes because only competition in a huge market can drive a nation to prosperity with the right laws.</p>}, journal={MISES: Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, Law and Economics}, author={de Siqueira Bentes, Lucas}, year={2020}, month={Apr.} }
