deiparous

Part of speech: adj

anarcho-capitalism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From anarcho- + capitalism. Earliest extant attestation is in American author Karl Hess's essay “The Death of Politics”, originally published by Playboy, in March 1969. Even though American economist Murray Rothbard is credited with coining this word, its first possible appearance among his writings is in his 1971 essay “Know Your Rights”, published two years after Hess's essay.
Senses: examples: text: Laissez-faire capitalism, or anarchocapitalism^([sic]), is simply the economic form of the libertarian ethic. Laissez-faire capitalism encompasses the notion that men should exchange goods and services, without regulation, solely on the basis of value for value. It recognizes charity and communal enterprises as voluntary versions of this same ethic.
ref: 1969 March, Karl Hess, “The Death of Politics”, in Playboy:
text: Anarcho-capitalism is a creed new to the present age. Its closest historical links are with the “individualist anarchism” of Benjamin R. Tucker and Lysander Spooner of the late nineteenth century, and it shares with Tucker and Spooner a devotion to private property, individualism, and competition. Furthermore, and in contrast to Read and Rand, it shares with Spooner and Tucker their hostility to government officials as a criminal band of robbers and murderers.[…]
