This article seems very much centered on political theory. What about mention of economic arguments? Libertarians often argue that a minimal state would be better for the economy, and anarcho-capitalists argue for no state, while many economists argue that government regulation is necessary to deal with market failures, i.e. government is needed because there are some things the government does more efficently than private enterprise. -- Simon J Kissane
