Chapter 9

In this chapter, Lieutenant Win Bear investigates the murder of Vaughn L. Meiss, a member of the Colorado Propertarian Party, uncovering the party's philosophy of absolute individual property rights and their opposition to government interference. The narrative explores the ideological split between minarchists, who want a minimal state, and anarcho-capitalists, who reject government entirely, emphasizing self-ownership and voluntary market solutions. The chapter also highlights tensions between government authorities and Propertarians, as well as the risks faced by those holding secret information in a society with strict control laws.
