a fair marketplace where it can judge disputes
so, what you're saying is that libertarian governance takes a backseat approach to its role in society, except that it has to create "a fair marketplace?" so, what constitutes "fair," in this regard? will it be the sole, autocratic judge of those disputes? who will serve in the judging process? how will it do this? perhaps we should set up some event in which the government can weigh the "fairness" of a given dispute. we could call it a "trial!" then, to insure "fairness," the hands-off libertarian government could apply the results of each trial equally to all its citizens and we could call those rules "laws."
groundbreaking stuff! rand was a true pioneer!

I was not suggesting that having laws and courts was a groundbreaking idea by Rand. I was saying that Rand (and libertarians) believe in minimalist government. Minimalist government includes laws and judges to rule between parties that have a dispute and thus avoid anarchy. Libertarianism and laissez faire capitalism do not mean anarchy.
