Where in nature is anything resembling the governments than man come up with? You can follow the Locke argument that property rights flow out of nature, but where is government in nature? What I see is the opposite, in that nature abhors man trying to impose order on it, and man is fighting a constant battle against nature. One can argue that markets naturally flow out of human interactions and markets do exist, without governments involved.
