Proprietary Government
Proprietary government, a term used by astrophysicist and philosopher Andrew Galambos, is a structure of social organization that seeks to assure human peace and freedom. Proprietary government offers a replacement for the political state. In a society based on proprietary government, services that are traditionally provided by the state (e.g. the construction, operation, and maintenance of roads and highways, postal service, fire protection, police protection, education, and even national defense) are provided by private organizations. Individuals would choose to subscribe to such services the same way they choose to avail themselves of non-governmental goods and services: by comparing the quality and price of goods and services offered by a variety of competitors.
