Anarchism

Minarchists and anarchists—i.e. champions of the night-watchman state and opponents of any state—aren’t as clearly distinguishable as one might think.

This introduction traces the idea that individual liberty comes first—from Cicero and Locke to Adam Smith, the American Founding, and modern thinkers like Hayek, Friedman, and Ayn Rand. Discover the principles, the rival schools, and why libertarians believe freedom makes the world more peaceful and prosperous.
