Chapter Overview

Description

For a New Liberty (1973) is a classic work that lays out the foundational principles of libertarianism. It refutes the necessity of a central State and argues against government involvement in all areas of life, from education to the police. The result is a scathing critique of the inefficiency, overreach, and moral crimes of the State.

About the Authors

Murray Rothbard was a political theorist, professor, economist of the Austrian school, and one of the founding fathers of modern anarcho-capitalism – a synthesis of classical liberalism and individualist anarchism. He was active in the Libertarian Party in the 1970s and ’80s and cofounded the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. His other major works include America’s Great Depression, The Ethics of Liberty, and Man, Economy, and State.
