Response to Ravi Kiran's blog post entitled "Why Government"

This article is the continuation of a series of articles responding to blog posts on Ravi Kiran's blog.^[1] Here, I address Kiran's post on the 8th of September 2013 entitled "Why Government".^[2] In it, Kiran touches on many concepts relating to society, ethics, democracy, socialism, division of labour, anarchy, and the free market. Using a string of examples, he argues for a "limited government" approach that will "let individuals dictate their own lives" which, he says, will improve on the unsatisfactory status quo, i.e. one of corrupt governments that are incapable of meeting the demands placed upon them by the "mob" of the public.
