The Ethics of Liberty- I loved it!

Miscellaneous Newbies

I am just about finished with The Ethics of Liberty- I am currently on the critique of Nozick, but seeing as I havn’t yet studied Nozick, I may put it off for now and skip ahead to Part 5.

But this book has been a hell of an eye opener for me- It really did explain several issues I had in my mind. This is the first work of Rothbard’s I’ve read outside of the odd article or short essay, and I loved it. I’ve ordered a copy of Egalitarianism as a revolt against nature to follow up- after that, who knows, I may have to shell out for MES…

Well worth the time reading this book. One chapter in particular, human rights as property rights, has given me several ideas for a coursework I’m to write for my civil liberties and Human rights module.

This was a great book- why isn’t it more widely known?

I Loved Ethics Of Liberty too. I’ve still to read MES fully but bits and pieces I’ve read were brilliant. Egalitarianism as a revolt Is awesome ,very radical and probably (to some) quite politically incorrect. I think you’ll enjoy it .

I didn’t read it cover to cover but probably more than half of it when searches had brought me to the book.

The last chapter is fairly similar to the end of For a New Liberty, and this section here had a huge influence on me to give up my short stint as a minarchist.

Don’t forget we have the Mises Book Club

Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature is excellent too.
