Which readings in college had the greatest impact on your political beliefs?
didn't read any political books in college I was too busy drinking beer and trying to screw sorority chicks. I did read secrets of Seal team 6 though.
In high school I read Animal farm though.

Recommend text for an econ class, which led me to the Machinery of Freedom. I picked up a couple books by Rothbard and Hoppe along the way but never got on the Austrian bandwagon.

There are at least a half dozen of us on the board, not to mention the many libertarians who will eventually join us.

Machinery of Freedom
This is a fairly short explanation that may answer some of your questions.

AnCap = Anarcho Capitalist?

Also how would people with little wealth have a chance in the long run being that big wealth will eventually control the society?
The wealthy already control our society. They use the arm of the state to create laws and regulations that are beneficial to them and keep their competition out of the market i.e. rent seeking.

Si. You might also see voluntar(y)ist, agorist, or market anarchist.

I was a bio major and now i am in law school... so none really
On a personal note i took an awesome ole testament class with a great rabbi and it really taught me a lot about the origins of my faith, and i came away with a new way of looking at the old testament.

What is to stop the owner of a competing private judicial system from winning a lawsuit in his own court if he is guilty of wrong doing?
For one, I don't think the opposing party would be interested in hearing a case in the owner's court.
Not to mention that said owner would lose significant business if it was known that the arbitration proceedings in said court were less than trustworthy.

Everyday I scoot a little closer.

If I'm suing someone for violating my property rights and that said person owned an arbitration firm, why would I take my case to his court?

Though without any regulation, monopolies are almost certain in the long run
Not necessarily. The main things that helped to create monopolies of the late 19th century were government privilige and protection (and it should also be noted that by the time the anti-trust act went into effect, Standard Oil had already been losing on the market).

Change the said competitive judicial system to a monopolistic non comp. one.
Well, then you have arrived at our current arrangement.

Furthermore say in the short run where there is competition, multiple privatized police firms and prison systems could potentially be disasterous. Whose going to arrest the CEO of iPoPo? Does he not have his own army?
Unless an individual is habitually violent and found to be a genuine threat to society, I very much doubt that prisons, or arrests for that matter, would be very common. They are not economically viable when one relies on customers' patronage to pay the bills. I think ancap justice would be more restitutive than simple imprisonment.

I will do more research to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the info
Not a problem. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I'm pretty lazy, so if you ask a rather difficult and complex question, I am likely to give a short summary in addition to providing a link/text written by someone who is much more intelligent and able to answer.
ETA: On that thought, I'm going to direct you to the subreddit of Anarcho-Capitalism, they like to answer questions, especially ones made in earnest.
