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.
之前和无政府资本主义的分歧而引起的大论战,虽已硝烟逝去,但那个症结依然存在,这也正说明了为什么会有小政府主义者和无政府资本主义者的区分了。恰恰是那个不可忽视的症结,成为划分这两部分人的有效办法。然而,无论论战看上去有多么复杂和激烈,他们都是在自由主义的范畴...

評分在日常交流语境中,谈论无政府主义很容易被看做是异想天开,哗众取宠的消遣,即使在政治谱系中比较极端的奥地利经济学派,人们也下意识的排斥和反感对无政府的探讨,这关于人性中的怯懦,知识分子崇拜那些敢于建立新观念的思想家,并且以能够重复他的语录为荣,但当他自己面对...
評分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...
評分好。
评分從當年的民主百問改編的
评分終於看完瞭,讀起來比較吃力,尤其是涉及哲學論證的部分。窩嚼著以後還會再讀的,現在很多還是一知半解
评分開頭的狗血是幌子,雖然也有cliche,不過以作為教科書的尺度,已經很難得。什麼時候纔能實現?
