Universal access to libraries is something that can obviously benefit
society. As I've seen you say: take that as a given for this argument.
Again, the assertion was that in a pure libertarian society, I _will_ have

demonstrate that universal access to spaceships is a net benefit for
society, I'll argue that the libertarian utopia ought to offer those as
well. :)
