[quote=@Vilageidiotx]Whereas the an-cap world would collapse and revert to right of conquest, a lawful economy that has no government involvement in the economy would see bubbles rising up all the time, popping, and descending into depressions. Capitalism is something like hitching you carriage to tigers I suppose; the less you try to control them the more they'll run amok, because you might want them to drive your [s]economy[/s] carriage, but they don't care about that, they want to run around [s]making quick money from[/s] mauling people. Takes some control by the driver to keep them mauling the least amount of people possible while still moving forward.[/quote]

This paragraph's telling of events represents the polar opposite of observable reality and is written in complete disregard for every historical example and mathematical model of market activity ever studied, created or interpreted by every single economic school of thought within and without orthodoxy; alternatively, it may depict the economic forces involved in a parallel universe.

Business cycles become more turbulent when market forces are intervened upon, not less. To continue with your colourful analogy: poking a tiger with a stick doesn't calm it down. Even socialists of all stripes accept this, they merely contend that what is good for the long-term growth of the economy is not the same as what is good for people.
