"My take on both is that they believe in something called "spontaneous ordering," the idea that, if left alone, human being will spontaneously form associations and societies for mutual benefit.."

Gerald if you are interested in this kind of thing here are a couple of recent references:

1 - The Complexity of Cooperation
(Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration)
Princeton Studies in Complexity
Robert Axelrod

2 - The Economy as an Evolving Complex System II
Santa Fe Institute
W. Brian Arthur (Editor)

I don't think most people know what they are talking about when they refer to themselves as anarchists. Even if spontaneous order occurs, it is always rule based. Can't get away from Mother Nature you know.

Anyway, since you are a Paul Krugman fan, ref: (2) has a smart paper by him about spatial organization of economies.
