[Star Trek]Is it accurate to describe the Ferengi as Anarcho-capitalists?

No. The Ferengi Alliance has a very powerful and intrusive centralized state whose rules and regulations permeates throughout the entire Ferengi alliance and touches upon any contract between Ferengi. The very rules of Acquisition (which are legally binding) are contrary to the "anarcho" part of anarcho-capitalism (AC).

There are some similarities, AC favors a highly privatized system, which Ferengi ideals are consistent with, and the idea of taxes in both is an anathema. However, anarcho-capitalists would consider a central government operated by a single party to be a political monopoly subject to corruption. The Ferengi do not view corruption as a bug, but as a desired feature of the system, always oping to exploit it to further their own gains.
