The ethics of liberty

Murray N. Rothbard's classic 'The Ethics of Liberty' is a comprehensive and radical argument for libertarian principles.

It establishes the anarcho-capitalist economic system as the most viable and principled option for a social order based on freedom.

Rothbard applies natural rights to various practical problems, arguing that a social order adhering strictly to private property rights must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state.

His applications of libertarian principles offer practical solutions to social dilemmas that have eluded other traditions.
