For a new liberty

In this book, Rothbard presents a comprehensive case for libertarianism, arguing that state power is unworkable and immoral and should be curbed and eventually abolished.

He draws on natural law, natural rights, Austrian economics, American history, and the theory of the state to make his case.

The book begins with an analysis of American history, highlighting the libertarian roots of the 1776 revolution.

Rothbard then discusses the philosophy and ethics of freedom, justifying the central axiom that no man or group of men may aggress against the person and property of anyone else.

He also outlines a strategy for achieving liberty, emphasizing the importance of educational efforts and building libertarian institutions from the ground up.
