Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me the very best libertarian books on the subject of self-ownership. Much appreciated.
peace
“For a New Liberty” by Rothbard covers the topic.
Here is a list of voluntaryist thinkers and their works:

(with a zip-file of most of the works in PDF)
Self-ownership is probably widely covered by these authors.
The absolute best I have ever come across [ and based entirely on the principle of methodological individualism- the core of Austrian theory ]is still “How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World” by Harry Browne.
Excerpt:
"You are the sovereign authority for your life. You are the ruler who makes the decisions regarding how you will act, what information you will accept. You do it anyway — but if you recognize that you do it, you can gain much greater control over your future…
But whether or not you accept it, you are sovereign. You rule one life — and you rule it totally.
You decide which information you will accept or reject. You decide what your next action will be. You decide what moral code you’ll live by…
To be free, you have only to make the decision to be free. Freedom is waiting for you — anytime you’re ready for it."
