    However, I don't believe I have studied the question deeply enough to make a
    fully informed choice. Can you or anyone here recommend sources for the
    anarchocapitalist position and theory?"

    Samantha, I am also most inclined to a minarchist position, but one of the
    best papers I have read on the anarchocapitalist position and defense is
    here:

    The Private Production of Defense
