I THINK MY EXPLANATION FOR THE ORIGIN OF THE STATE IS MORE ACCURATE:

THe state centralizes free riding, and transforms it into rent seeking. This forces the multitudes to resort to the market alone.

If this is true, and I am fairly sure it is, then the state is less relevant than is the expurgation of free riding. (And that makes a lot more sense than any argument to efficiency.)

This may be one of the better ideas I’ve had.
