State Intervention and Anarchy

In Against the State, Lew Rockwell emphasizes that the assault on our liberties from the state is not merely “the product of temporary malfunctions. To the contrary, the state is by nature evil.” Rockwell shows that the state is founded on coercion and maintains its power by use of force.In recent years, following the rise of environmentalism, public health “safetyism,” and the war against “hate,” state interventions have encroached even further...

California and New York Are Even Shaking Down Fleeing Residents

The Results Are In: Free Market Capitalism Improves Lives

The credibility of free market capitalism is constantly threatened by critics who doubt its propensity for engendering prosperity.

The House of Representatives passed the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act” on May 2, by a vote of 320-91 in reaction to demonstrations on numerous university campuses and elsewhere against the brutal and genocidal policy of Israel in Gaza. The Act has now been sent to the Senate, where it seems certain to pass. This is an extremely dangerous bill that could criminalize the Bible, many Christian Churches, as well as any negative remarks about Israel and...

The absurdity of it all is that pop religionists like Hagee falsely conflate the Israel of the Bible with today’s politicians and bureaucrats of the...

Order without the State: Lessons from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s Florida Scrub

There have been all manner of land disputes over the course of human history, but one type of conflict that seems to surface time and again is a situation in which nonowners are suddenly barred from land that they have always had free access to.Just think of the English enclosures (roughly 1450 to 1860), in which manorial landowners fenced in lands that were legally theirs but which before had been governed by the rules of the open-field system, in...
