Students, educated laymen, and academics can all profit from Power and Market. In this vol- ume, Murray N. Rothbard uses positive economics to analyze various schemes and proposals to alter or eliminate market out- comes. Where government supporters come up with numerous reasons why government “needs” to do this or that, Rothbard puts constraints on people’s political fantasies. He shows how the state is not a benign entity that can easily fix problems in the world. Rather, the state is an imperfect and inherently coercive apparatus. Power and Market, now 35 years after its original publication, is still one of the most systematic economic analyses of govern- ment intervention around. Rothbard’s principles treatise Man, Economy, and State describes the economics of market exchange; Power and Market describes the economics of government inter- vention.1 Rothbard makes it clear that economics is a value free science that provides no ultimate ethical judgments, but he also points out that economics can be used to criticize certain posi- tions: “If an ethical goal can be shown to be self-contradictory and conceptually impossible of fulfillment, then the goal is clearly 1Rothbard originally wrote this volume as the final third of the 1,500- page manuscript for Man, Economy, and State. The length of the manu- script and the nonmainstream political conclusions in his analysis of gov- ernment were too much for some, however, so Man, Economy, and State and Power and Market were published as separate volumes in 1962 and xi xii Power and Market: Government and the Economy an absurd one and should be abandoned by all.”2 In certain ways, the book could be considered an early example of public choice economics because it uses economics to analyze govern- ment, and it certainly takes the romance out of politics. But Rothbard differed from public choice economists such as James M. Buchanan and Gordon Tullock (and, for that matter, all of his contemporaries) in that he consistently viewed the state as a coercive institution, an institution that was not created to make everyone better off.3 The central chapters of Power and Market offer a typology and discussion of different types of state intervention. Binary intervention is.

Student Book Features: Anarchist Political Theory https://www.e-ir.info/2013/10/04/student-book-features-anarchist-political-theory/ JAMES WAKEFIELD, OCT 4 2013 ‘Anarchy,’ writes April Carter, ‘means literally “without government,” and the lowest common denominator of anarchist thought is the conviction that existing forms of government are productive of wars, internal violence, repression and misery.’[1] The last few years of political history have provided a good deal of evidence to support the anarchists’ conception of government, and with this has come a resurgence of the language of anti-politics: opposition not just to specific regimes, but to the very idea of authority that they embody. In this review I discuss two recent paperback re-issues of old books on anarchist (or, at least, anti-government) political theory. These are Carter’s The Political Theory of Anarchism (hereafter PTA), which first appeared in 1971, a year that seems all the more distant when we consider that Rawls’s game-changing A Theory of Justice was published the same year; and De Jasay’s Against Politics: On Government, Anarchy, and Order (hereafter AP), which is comparatively new, having seen the light in 1997. Even so, the essays contained in it are older, having been published between 1989 and 1996, though in one case slightly shortened for inclusion in the volume.

  • Guest Editors' Preface
    Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, 2003, 2 http://www.units.it/etica/2003_2/INTRODUCTION.htm Guest Editors’ Preface Raimondo Cubeddu Dipartimento di Scienze della Politica Università di Pisa Alberto Mingardi Visiting Fellow Centre for the New Europe When thirty years ago, in 1974, Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1) was first released, “Libertarianism” was a word scarcely used in the political discourse. Nozick’s book came as an unexpected answer to John Rawls’ ground-breaking A Theory of Justice, (2) a work that was to re-shape the landscape of contemporary political philosophy. (3) Nozick’s work bestowed new philosophical dignity upon a set of ideas that was not “new” in any meaningful sense; though Libertarianism as a political movement emerged in the United States of America precisely during the Seventies, heralded by Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia as well as by Murray N. Rothbard’s For a New Liberty, (4) with the unforgettable subtitle “A Libertarian Manifesto”, (5) those principles to which libertarians gained a new life had long been dancing on the stage of history. What’s truly peculiar to the most recent development is the rejection of the legitimacy of an even “minimal” government (vis-à-vis the Nozickian solution). It is often difficult to distinguish between “Libertarianism” and “Classical Liberalism”. Those two labels are used almost interchangeably by those who we may call libertarians of a “minarchist” persuasion: scholars who, following Locke and Nozick, believe a State is needed in order to achieve effective protection of property rights. (6) Alas, often those who follow Nozick’s footsteps when proposing an “ultra-minimal” state end up in what we may dare calling a theoretical impasse; to those who believe there is a need for government – but share a fundamental distrust of political power, we may suggest that what’s needed is a “voluntarily financed” form of government.

PATRICK LYNCH nthony de Jasay has had an important and yet unique place among the pantheon of distinguished contemporary liberal thinkers of the past forty A years. Jasay’s career has had three distinct phases that have allowed him to reach both academic and popular audiences interested in markets, politics, and social issues. Originally trained as an economist at Oxford, he has written both important “serious” academic works and more widely read popular columns in the spirit of many of the great popularizers of free markets.

  • Denmark,Liberalism
    Discuss this article at Journaltalk: http://journaltalk.net/articles/5895 ECON JOURNAL WATCH 12(3) September 2015: 400–431 Classical Liberalism and Modern Political Economy in Denmark Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard1 LINK TO ABSTRACT Over the last century, classical liberalism has not had a strong presence in Danish social science, including economics. Several studies have shown that social scientists in Denmark tilt leftwards. In a 1995–96 survey only 7 percent of political scientists and 3 percent of sociologists said they had voted for (classical-)liberal or conservative parties, whereas support for socialist parties among the same groups were 51 percent and 78 percent. Lawyers and economists were more evenly split between left and right, but even there the left dominated: 31 percent and 25 percent for at least nominally free-market friendly parties and 38 percent and 36 percent for socialist parties.2 Very vocal free-market voices in academia have been rare. This marginalization of liberalism was not always the case. Denmark was among the first countries to see publication of a translation of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (Smith 1779/1776; see Rae 1895, ch. 24; Kurrild-Klitgaard 1998; 2004). Throughout the 19th century the emerging field of economics at the University of Copenhagen was visibly inspired not only by Smith and David Ricardo but also the “Manchester liberals” and French classical liberal economists Jean Baptiste Say and Frédéric Bastiat, of whose works timely translations were made. The university had professors of economics who today would be termed classical liberals, e.g., Oluf Christian Olufsen (1764–1827), Christian G.

  • Self-Ownership, World-Ownership, and Initial Acquisition
    LIBERTARIAN PAPERS VOL. 2, ART. NO. 36 (2010) SELF-OWNERSHIP, WORLD-OWNERSHIP, AND INITIAL ACQUISITION TRISTAN ROGERS* 1. Introduction G.A. COHEN’S WORK Self-Ownership, Freedom, and Equality1 is a highly regarded and widely influential critique of Robert Nozick’s canonical libertarian work Anarchy, State, and Utopia.2 Since much contemporary libertarian theory is indebted to Nozick, a successful dismantling of Nozick’s theory would seem to pose quite a threat to libertarianism more generally. But as Nozick himself said, “There is room for words on subjects other than last words.”3 Indeed, one of the chief virtues of Nozick’s work is its open exploratory approach. So, just as Nozick provides a starting point for the exploration of libertarianism, Cohen forces the libertarian theorist to confront difficult challenges, which sometimes result in the reaffirmation of a position, sometimes in revision. This eventually spawns a deeper and stronger theory. It is a modest step towards this lofty goal that this paper attempts. To orient the debate, I begin by briefly sketching Nozick’s familiar Entitlement Theory of Justice. I then present and respond to Cohen’s criticism at three stages. The first is the self-ownership stage, where Cohen does not attempt to refute the thesis of self-ownership, but instead attempts to cast doubt on it, in *Tristan Rogers ([email protected]) is an MA Candidate, Department of Philosophy, Queen’s University, in Kingston, ON, Canada.

Points of dispute emerge only at more advanced stages of the discussion, with respect to such questions as the duty to obey state law or the appropriate extent of state inter- vention in social relations. This Article will be devoted to a reconsideration of the presupposition of the law-state link and to challenging the state's status vis-A-vis the law-both in its role as the producer of legal norms and its capacity as the arbiter of disputes. The Article opens with a comparative elucidation of the Hobbe- sian and Lockean justifications for the existence of the state and its intervention in the law.
