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.

  • Cato Supreme Court Review, an Annual Critique of the Court’S Most Important Deci- Sions from the Term Just Ended Plus a Look at the Term Ahead
    FOREWORD A Tale of Two Justices Ilya Shapiro* The Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies is pleased to publish this 18th volume of the Cato Supreme Court Review, an annual critique of the Court’s most important deci- sions from the term just ended plus a look at the term ahead. We are the first such journal to be released, and the only one that approaches its task from a classical liberal, Madisonian perspective, grounded in the nation’s first principles, liberty through constitutionally limited government. We release this volume each year at Cato’s annual Con- stitution Day symposium on September 17 (or a day or two before or after if Constitution Day is on a weekend). And each year in this space the publisher briefly discusses a theme that emerged from the Court’s term or from the larger setting in which the term unfolded. For the first time since the Review’s inception, that publisher is someone other than Roger Pilon. At the end of 2018, Roger stepped down as director of the Levy Center and handed the reins to me. Roger founded the Center in 1989, after holding five senior posts in the Reagan administration, and directed its growth into a respected and influential voice. Although he has taken emeritus status, Roger remains close to Cato, continuing to hold our B. Kenneth Simon Chair in Constitutional Studies and working on a book that will tie together the legal philosophy and constitutional theory that rep- resent his life’s work. He also recently oversaw the production of 10 videos for the Students for Liberty “Law 201” series, spreading the word to the next generation.
