When Roman power vanished from the Western Empire in the 5th C, there
was no government. It was literal anarchy. Wealthy landholders with
private armies stepped into the vacuum, and feudalism began.
Feudalism was precisely the kind of government-free, contract-based
societal system modern anarcho-dreamers like David Friedman, Murray
Rothbard et al advocate.
