Murray N. Rothbard, a scholar of extraordinary range, made major contributions to economics, history, political philosophy, and legal theory. He developed and extended the Austrian economics of Ludwig von Mises, in whose seminar he was a main participant for many years. He established himself as the principal Austrian theorist in the latter half of the twentieth century and applied Austrian analysis to historical topics such as the Great Depression of 1929 and the history of American banking.
Rothbard was no ivory-tower scholar, interested only in academic controversies. Quite the contrary, he combined Austrian economics with a fervent commitment to individual liberty. He developed a unique synthesis that combined themes from nineteenth-century American individualists such as Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker with Austrian economics. A new political philosophy was the result, and Rothbard devoted his remarkable intellectual energy, over a period of some forty-five years, to developing and promoting his style of libertarianism. In doing so, he became a major American public intellectual.
In recent years, libertarian impulses have increasingly influenced national and economic debates, from welfare reform to efforts to curtail affirmative action. Murray N. Rothbard's classic The Ethics of Liberty stands as one of the most rigorous and philosophically sophisticated expositions of the libertarian political position.
What distinguishes Rothbard's book is the manner in which it roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. An economist by profession, Rothbard here proves himself equally at home with philosophy. And while his conclusions are radical—that a social order that strictly adheres to the rights of private property must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state—his applications of libertarian principles prove surprisingly practical for a host of social dilemmas, solutions to which have eluded alternative traditions.
The Ethics of Liberty authoritatively established the anarcho-capitalist economic system as the most viable and the only principled option for a social order based on freedom. This edition is newly indexed and includes a new introduction that takes special note of the Robert Nozick-Rothbard controversies.
把任何东西抬到绝对的、神圣的地位,都是神学,都必然会产生荒谬 正如书中写的:某地发生传染病,唯一的医生不愿意治疗或要收取高价,这是合理的,当地居民强迫医生留下或以低价治病,则是不合理的,因为这等于奴役 在这个例子里,“避免奴役出现”成了至高无上的理由,如果...
评分在《自由的伦理》第19章中,穆瑞·罗斯巴德提出了两个重要论点:自愿为奴自相矛盾;承诺本身不具有强制可执行性。其中,前者作为一项易于理解的思想实验,引发了自由主义者广泛的讨论兴趣;但是,相比之下后者无疑更加深刻,也更加重要。下面本文将分别讨论这两个论题。 罗斯...
评分自由与道德,是人类价值选择的两个重要维度,然而,让人烦恼的是,它们彼此间有冲突。 怎样的自由才是道德的?我们应偏重自由还是应偏重道德?打个简单的比方:一个人在街上晕倒,我们该不该帮助?出于道德天性,我们应帮助他,但这却减少了我们自由选择的空间。 其实,这里...
