 Lord Acton: Libertarian Hero by Anthony Flood
Acton saw clearly that the deep flaw in the ancient Greek – and their later followers’ – conception of natural law political philosophy was to identify politics and morals, and then to place the supreme social moral agent in the State.
For Acton "a State in which the law is powerless to punish a thief ("anarchy"), or in which a society is unable to restrict the action of the government ("despotism")" (Woodruff 436) are equally undesirable, no less so to the anarchocapitalist than to anyone else.
While Acton doesn’t believe that the government is the preferred means of satisfying the "claim on the wealth of the rich" that the poor allegedly have, neither does he rule it out as a necessarily objectionable means.
