ISBN-13: 978-1979796521 ISBN-10: 1979796521 CONTENTS Foreword by Hans-Hermann Hoppe ...............................v Chapter I: What Anarcho-Capitalism Is ............................1 Chapter II: The Libertarian Case Against Open Borders ............11 Chapter III: For A “Libertarian Alt-Right” .........................35 Suggestions For Further Reading ..................................79 Appendix: Clearing Up The Hoppe Foreword Controversy ..........87 iii FOREWORD The social theory sailing nowadays under the label “Austro-Liber- tarianism” has a long and prominent history going back many centuries, culminating during the second half of the 20th century in the work of Murray N. Rothbard, and continued today by his various intellectual disciples and students (including myself ). The theory provides a simple, argumentatively irrefutable (without running into contradictions) answer to one of the most important questions in the entire field of the social sciences: How can human beings, “real persons,” having to act in a “real world” characterized by the scarcity of all sorts of physical things, interact with each other, conceivably from the beginning of mankind until the end of human history, peacefully, i.e., without physically clash- ing with one another in a contest or fight concerning the control of one and the same given thing? Put briefly, the answer is this: Absent a perfect harmony of all inter- ests, clashes regarding scarce resources can only be avoided if all scarce resources are assigned as private, exclusive property to some specified individual or group of individuals. Only then can I act independently, with my own things, from you, with your own things, without you and I ever clashing.
