The Machinery of Freedom (ISBN 0812690699) is a book of essays by libertarian economist David Friedman .
It describes the privatization of just about everything, exploring the consequences of libertarian thought, and offering his personal statement about why he chose to be a libertarian.
Some of the topics in the book include the privatization of law (both legislation and enforcement) and the knotty problem of providing for public goods (such as national defense) in a purely libertarian society.
