In recent years, libertarian impulses have increasingly influenced national and economic debates, from welfare reform to efforts to curtail affirmative action. Murray N. Rothbard's classic The Ethics of Liberty stands as one of the most rigorous and philosophically sophisticated expositions of the libertarian political position.
What distinguishes Rothbard's book is the manner in which it roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. An economist by profession, Rothbard here proves himself equally at home with philosophy. And while his conclusions are radical?that a social order that strictly adheres to the rights of private property must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state?his applications of libertarian principles prove surprisingly practical for a host of social dilemmas, solutions to which have eluded alternative traditions.
The Ethics of Liberty authoritatively established the anarcho-capitalist economic system as the most viable and the only principled option for a social order based on freedom. This edition is newly indexed and includes a new introduction that takes special note of the Robert Nozick-Rothbard controversies.
The author of numerous books, the late Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) was the S. J. Hall Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Academic Vice President of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
Hans-Hermann Hoppe is Professor of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Shipping costs are based on books weighing 1.0 LBS. For all internation orders: If you ordered an item that is oversized (can not fit in a padded priority envelope) you will receive an email message requiring extra charge. The same applies for all domestic priority orders. Hawai orders will take 21-36 days to arrive with standard shipping. If you are interested in a faster delivery choose the priority option. Orders from Alaska can't meet the current shipping speed deadline (normally it takes 3 weeks or more to ship an item from the continental USA). If a buyer from Alaska or Hawai wants the item sooner they have to choose the priority option. We might require additional shipping charges for orders shipped to Hawai or Alaska. We wrapped all items shipped in a cardboard and use padded envelopes. For larger items we use cardboard boxes. **WE SHIP SELECTED DOMESTIC ORDERS WITH A DELIVERY SIGNATURE!!!. **
