There's one small fact that everyone seems to forget: inflation rates. Australia is said to be one of the most stables economies in the world in relation to inflation rates (approximately 3% every year). This is due to the four major banks in Australia increasing interest rates so people pay off their mortgages/home loans with the extra money they get from inflation rates. This, in turn, stables inflation rates. The problem is that government is the one who influences:
a) The banks to increase interest rates.
b) The people to pay their mortgages/home loans as to abide by the law.
c) The courts that enforce the law.
d) The creation of laws which enable banks to lawfully bind people to pay off their debts.
e) The comissions which ratify Enterprise Bargaining Agreements that set out how much people get paid in a certain industry (thereby having the ability to deny any EBAs which demand too much of a monopoly; meaning that these monopolies could not then increase the sale price of goods to the community and starting a chain-explosion of overly ridiculous salaries).
Perhaps someone should think of how a little thing called hyper-inflation would affect a country.
Unless, well, you're removing the use of currency aswell?

Inflation is always a result of the government manipulating the money supply. Abolish government and you abolish government monetary policy.

Hang on wait what? You support a free market in food production so fervently and you don't even know what everybody would eat for breakfast every day? Doesn't that strike you as absurd? Food is one of the fundamental underpinnings of a free society, and unless you can very specifically elaborate on an alternate system that still accounts for human greed, selfishness and shortsightedness while retaining the food we have today you don't have any argument at all.
Seriously, you're totally missing the point of a free market here.

People who explicitly advocate the abolition of government are a minority, but abolish all government force and see how many people follow government regulations and pay taxes, then come back to me and tell me that government currently works through mutual consent.
