A nice review, the book sounds like an interesting read.
“Protecting ordinary people is more profitable than criminals, who by definition enter conflicts on purpose.” > This is a bad argument. X is a bigger market that Y does not imply that X is more profitable. If I am founding a new security agency I might see a gap in the market for one that serves criminals, it saves me competing with all the many agencies that help nice people. Criminals may enter conflicts on purpose, but maybe they will pay a premium.
