Abandoned baby problem in anarcho-capitalism
An interesting problem for anarcho-capitalism: imagine a baby is abandoned and has no parents, money, or ability to participate in contracts.
A charity could take care of it, but what if the charity is underfunded because not enough people voluntarily donate?
A government can solve this by taxing everyone and guaranteeing that the child is cared for. But in a truly anarcho-capitalist society, there is no government with the authority to impose such a tax.
So what happens if nobody voluntarily wants to pay for the child's care?
Is there a market-based solution I'm missing, or does this expose a fundamental limitation of a completely voluntary society?
