Product Description

Product Description

This work is a rigorous and philosophically sophisticated exposition of the libertarian political position. It roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. It concludes that a social order that strictly adheres to the rights of private property must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning! Mind Expanding Material, 10 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ethics of Liberty (Hardcover)
Murray Rothbards call for a just property rights basis for justice will spin your head if you accept the premises on which it is based. A rational alternative to the morality based justice we suffer with today, this book is a call to arms and an appeal to common sense in the fine tradition of Thomas Paine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding work - and a good read too!, 19 Jan 2010
By birchden "birchden" (Eastbourne, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
In this handy and readable book Murray Rothbard makes the case for a system of ethics that is based on natural law, demonstrating with a wealth of graphic examples how such a system would work in practice. There are valuable chapters here on self defence, childrens rights and criminality.

Moving on to human rights in general, Rothbard makes a compelling case for human rights as property rights, revisiting the famous question as to whether one has the right to shout 'fire' in a crowded cinema.

The book also contains an excellent analysis of the nature of the state and its inner contradictions. Here, Rothbard reminds us how difficult it is to frame a definition of robbery that does not also include taxation.

In conclusion, he presents us with a useful review of some other modern theories of liberty, among them the ideas of Hayek, Nozick and Berlin.

Rothbard's writing is always lively, challenging and provocative and if liberty means anything to you, then this is a book that you will not find easy to put down.
