A concept David Friedman often talks about is the ?discipline of constant dealings?. What he means by this is that, generally speaking, in the free society we all want, people will rarely not fulfill their contractual promises (be they businessmen, arbitrators, whoever). This is because if they break a promise this time, then they know that the other guy will decide not to fulfill his side of the bargain and that nobody will want to deal with him the future. While it is still probable that contracts will be enforced in some way in the free society, contracts will generally ?enforce themselves?.
