The USPS is cancelling Saturday delivery for letters, but not for packages.
The USPS enjoys a coercive monopoly on letter delivery, but not on package delivery.
It’s almost as though they’re responding to incentives of some sort. Wacky, huh?

Liberty in La Jolla, Anarchy in Atlanta
I’ve now posted pics from my November San Diego / La Jolla trip (including the Liberty Fund conference on Molinari) and my December Atlanta trip (inlcuding the Molinari Society panel on anarchism). Some Molinari/C4SS/ALL-relevant samples follow:
@ in @lanta
Updated info (including location) for the Molinari Society panel tomorrow:
Eastern APA, Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Friday, 28 December:
Molinari Society, 2:00-5:00 p.m. [GIV-3, room L406 (lobby level, past the fitness center; see map]:
“Explorations in Philosophical Anarchy”presenters:
Matthew Quest (Independent Scholar), “Between Insurrection and Popular Self-Management: Emma Goldman and the Self-Governing Will”
Roderick T. Long (Auburn University), “Transformation or Abolition: Marriage and the Family in the Individualist Anarchist Tradition”commentators:
Nina Brewer-Davis (Auburn University)
Charles Johnson (Molinari Institute)
Frustratingly, they’ve scheduled our session opposite a session that includes both a paper on C. L. R. James (one of Matthew’s main research interests) and a paper on the abolition of marriage. Les choses sont contre nous.
P.S. – If my online presence has been scant lately, it’s because my home internet connection is on the fritz. That’ll be corrected next year (i.e., next week).
Molinari Beach Safari
I’ve been back for nearly a week from the Liberty Fund I organised (my first time as director!) in La Jolla on Gustave de Molinari, but have been too busy with final exams and other end-of-term stuff to mention it here. Anyway, it was terrific: interesting readings, beautiful location, and some of my favourite people.
Five members of the Molinari Institute and/or Center for a Stateless Society were present. Here they are:
Sheldon Richman, Gary Chartier, Charles Johnson, Roderick Long, Jennifer McKitrick
The same people as before, silly
More pics from the conference and trip will be posted in due course.
Report from Libertopia, Part 12
My Reason TV interview (or some subset thereof) from Libertopia is online now.
Added bonus: at the 4:40 mark you can see Sheldon Richman, Gary Chartier, and David Friedman. Or their backs, anyway.
Be Tied to Be Free
What is the well-dressed market anarchist wearing? Another well-dressed market anarchist, of course!
Commemorate the centenary of Gustave de Molinari’s death, and the decennial of the Molinari Institute’s birth, by wearing the founder of market anarchism around your neck.
