Overview

What is freedom? Is there such a thing as public goods, a social contract - a State? What is the common link between bees, a lighthouse, Friedrich Nietzsche and a haircut, and why does it matter? African hunters, New Zealand sheep, Antarctic expeditions, bootlegging gangsters and leather jackets, riots, hurricanes, gold coins and broken windows are just a few of the many intriguing cases that give us a look at how economies work and how they get destroyed. The Road to Anarchy takes us on a fast-paced journey from the very foundations of libertarian thought - self-ownership and the non-aggression principle - to its ultimate economic and philosophical conclusions. Chapters: 1. On Freedom: A look at freedom , which along with love is perhaps the most over- and misused (as well as misunderstood) concept in human history. 2. Self-Ownership: Can one person own another? 3. Property & Homesteading: What is property, how is it acquired and is there such a thing as intellectual property rights? 4. On Morality: What is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong - and who is to say so? 5. Death and Taxes: A look at fascinating historic and present day cases that show us how economies work and how they get destroyed. 6. Show Me the Money: What is money? What does it mean when politicians talk of lowering interest rates to stimulate the economy , and what makes it crash in the first place? 7. The Zarathustra Principle: Philosophy and economics on the wings of aerodynamics, bringing it all together.
