Many people cannot imagine old-age security without the state, says Oskari Juurikkala. This is particularly the case in continental Europe, where few people have private pension plans. But of course there can be food, houses, cars, and even music and literature without the state. There will be all of these in much greater abundance, when people are left free to pursue their own ends and satisfy their needs through individual responsibility, joint effort in local communities, and mutually beneficial exchanges in the marketplace. The same holds true for old-age security.
