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.
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.
(书读到一半时写的书评) 有人曾用诺齐克的理论来谴责中国的强拆现象。但《无政府、国家与乌托邦》一书对于中国这种转型期财产问题没说多少,因为诺齐克只为历史清白的私产权辩护。诺齐克不仅仅对中国无话可说。实际上,目前全世界没有什么地方的财产权是像诺齐克想象的那样...
评分财产权,是指人们对财产占有、转让、享用其收益的权利。既然是一种权利,也就意味着不容侵犯,意味着人们甚至可以用暴力来保卫它。换句话说,在财产权面临威胁时,人们使用暴力是正当的。当然,在非紧急状态下,暴力是由国家机器来实施的。 财产权应该享有这种地位吗...
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...
