Market anarchy probably could work, but life would suck... You seem to have almost every analytical problem solved, but what about the fact that we are human? Everything we do would be a buisness, we would become even more materialistic, we would be reduced to just being consumers/profit...
This assertion is making assumptions about the nature of market anarchy. Market anarchy is just free-association, which has nothing to do with materialism. You could be a primitivist collectivist...and a market anarchist...So I don't know what you're talking about...
(sorry, I meant anarcho-capitalism)life would be pretty empty (just my opinion)...we would, like I said above, be seen as only profit and labor. We would also rely too heavily on buisness instead of community. (ugh!I wish I could make videos!)
But there is nothing inherent within free-association that says you have to act this way...would you act that way if you were left to associate with whomever you please...if not, than that's proof right there.
I am so tired of the whole "What about the roads???" crap. Just as an addendum, I would add that market anarchism doesn't preclude collective/community ownership. *gasp*
If an-caps went to war, and torture was one of the enemies tactics. They would put you in a dark room with a dozen of so Statists asking questions about the roads.
One more thing. If I want roads and am willing to pay money for them, but my neighbour does not, how can my DRO prevent my neighbour from driving on "my" roads? Isn't there inherent waste in the system because we need a lot of policing for many common resources?

I'm not sure if I understand the question. But I would stress that there is always room for competition in certain markets, and competition is good and so it should be encouraged as much as possible. So no, I don't see any value to limiting ourselves to one DRO.
Luke, one of the concerns I have is that Market Anarchy will be too complicated. How many encycolpedias of contracts will the average citizen have to read?
The simplest contracts are always the most appealing to the public, and so the trend is to simplify them (look at cell phone companies). And nobody is even saying that you have to do business through contractual agreements, they are just a way of minimizing risk. They might be abandoned if people deem them unnecessary.
What about congestion charges in london for example, would it be fair to say that this still meets the standards of free assciation?

There is a car crash. Should the ambulance come and help anyone? How does the ambulance service know if the people involved are signed up to it?

To take care of the "free-rider", paying taxes for your local roads could be contractually part of ownership of property.

Man that podcat is rambling!
Do you have links to good articles? At least if reading material is rambling it's a lot easier to skip the irrelevant bits :)

Ok, I listened to the podcast.
I still don't understand how the ambulance problem can be solved. I'll think about it.

Do you think it is possible to construct a hypothetical example of a successful market anarchy society with only one DRO?
