The authoritative text on the libertarian political position 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. Rothbard's unique argument roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. 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--Rothbard's 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 classic book's radical insights are sure to inspire a new generation of readers.

Seller's Description:
Good with no dust jacket. 0391023713. Signed, without inscription, by Murray Rothbard atop front free endpaper. "Economics can help supply much of the data for a libertarian position but it cannot establish that political philosophy itself. For political judgements are necessarily value-judgements, political philosophy is therefore necessarily ethical, and hence a positive ethical system must be set forth to establish the case for individual liberty."-Preface. "Rothbard (1926-1995) was a central figure in the 20th-century American libertarian movement and a founder and leading theoretician of anarcho-capitalism"-Wikipedia. Clean and unmarked with moderate peripheral wear to original dark blue cloth brightly lettered in gilt. Binding tight. Light foxing to edges. No dust jacket, apparently as issued. A quality signed copy of this fascinating study.; Sm 4to; Signed by Author.
