Anarchic Order: The Science of Proprietary Governance
The Anarchic Order program is a one-month intensive program consisting of 12 lectures delivered over four Saturdays. The course examines the foundations and viability of social order without centralized political authority. It analyzes competing systems of governance and explores how polycentric institutions produce security, resolve disputes, and adapt through competition. Taught by leading scholars, the program challenges conventional assumptions and advances a systematic understanding of governance beyond the state.
