Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "First published in the United States of America in 1982 by Humanities Press, Inc." Will close its own text block. Modest rub to corners. No dust jacket -- apparently issued without jacket. Dated March 1982 -- the year of publication -- warmly inscribed to Colin Hunter, "a dedicated and intelligent libertarian," and signed to the free front endpaper "Murray Rothbard." Hunter, who was active with Rothbard and Bill Evers on the Central Committee of the Libertarian Party Radical Caucus from about 1978-1983, financed Eric Garris & Justin Raimondo in the launch of their Web venture Antiwar-(dot)-com in 1995, and subsequently co-founded the Silicon Valley microprocessor start-up Transmeta, which took in a reported $273 million with its IPO in the year 2000. Rothbard (1926-1995) was the S.J. Hall Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, from 1986. He developed and extended the Austrian economics of Ludwig von Mises, in whose seminar he was a main participant for many years. He established himself as the principal Austrian theorist in the latter half of the twentieth century, applying Austrian analysis to such historical topics as the Great Depression and the history of American banking. Following on Mises' demonstration that a society without private property degenerates into economic chaos, Rothbard here shows that every interference with property represents a violent and unethical invasion that diminishes liberty and prosperity. First published in 1982, The Ethics of Liberty is "a masterpiece of argumentation, and shockingly radical in its conclusions," note the editors at the Mises Institute. "Rothbard says that the very existence of the state -- the entity with a monopoly privilege to invade private property -- is contrary to the ethics of liberty. A society without a state is not only viable; it is the only one consistent with natural rights." In "one area he maintained that Mises was mistaken," writes biographer David Gordon. "Mises contended that ethical judgments were subjective: ultimate ends are not subject to rational assessment. Rothbard dissented, maintaining that an objective ethics could be founded on the requirements of human nature. His approach, based on his study of Aristotelian and Thomist philosophy, is presented in 'The Ethics of Liberty' ' . . . in which Rothbard concludes "Taxation is theft, purely and simply even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. . . . " Rothbard associate Hans-Hermann Hoppe, who wrote the introduction to later editions, described "The Ethics of Liberty" as Rothbard's second magnum opus, after "Man, Economy, and State" (1962). 268 pp. This inscribed and signed association copy here reduced from $6,000.

"Economics can help supply much of the data for a libertarian position but it cannot establish that political philosophy itself. For political judgements are necessarily value-judgements, political philosophy is therefore necessarily ethical, and hence a positive ethical system must be set forth to establish the case for individual liberty." - Preface.
