| This short chapter merely establishes the right to offer and pay bribes. It asserts that taking a bribe, however, is a contract violation, and that’s the only sense in which a bribe is a bad thing. | この短い章はただ賄賂を払う権利を主張する。だが、賄賂を受け取るのが契約違反で倫理の違反になる。 |
| That this chapter, too, comes before the contracts chapter makes me think that Rothbard might have been well advised to rearrange his chapters. For instance, placing theory description before theory application. | この章も契約の章の前に出されたからロスバードが違う整理にするべきだったと思える。例えば、原則の応用する前に原則を明確する。 |
| On the other hand, since all the examples in the chapter are of private-sector bribes and not public-sector bribes, might he have been holding discussion of government until after introducing government? But no. He has condemned government any number of times already. | その一方、政府への賄賂がこの章にないとなった理由は政府をまだ明確してないのでは？いやいや、もう幾つかの非難をしてきた。 |
