RE: The Prince, Chapter II

in #philosophy8 years ago

Personally, I am an market anarchist, but I see eye to eye with classical liberals because I used to be one. Where I differ with Locke is his support of social contract theory. The problem with government is that it naturally grows. Tackling that problem is what led me to Murray Rothbard.

Very true, and thats why Im a classical liberal. We have to be vigilant, and always monitor its growth. At a certain point, the consequences of government outweigh the benefits.

Tackling that problem is what led me to Murray Rothbard.

Huh - I've never heard of him. I'll check him out, I'd be interested in what he had to say.

Just a warning! You might like it! I'd start with "For a New Liberty" you can get it for free from the mises institute:
