TRANSACTION COSTS: Why is imposing transaction costs on others not imposing any

TRANSACTION COSTS:

Why is imposing transaction costs on others not imposing any other cost upon them? Sure, of the various costs you can impose upon them: violence, theft, fraud, privatization, socialization conspiracy – like moral violations, they are indirect costs. But then that’s what we use the term morality to refer to: indirect costs. So then why is imposing indirect costs upon others different from any other immoral violation?

Well it isn’t.

Separatism imposes transaction costs.
