Medieval merchants and diaspora communities built functional legal systems without states; their principles can now govern disputes in cyberspace.
The Moral Case for Debt Repudiation

The Constitution That Isn't One
The Universal Principles of Liberty codifies libertarian jurisprudence as discovered law, providing a meta-normative baseline for decentralized justice without sovereign authority.
