Writes Free Your Kids: Peaceful parenting is not permissive parenting. Our kids don’t run the house. We do not live in chaos and disarray. The fundamentals are self-ownership and the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP). We teach our kids that they own themselves. No one should be permitted to encroach on their bodies or their property. The…

Statism, Morality and Children
Written by The Perturbed Patriot for NoMoreCages.com. Children will be taught that they cannot steal, kill, rape, damage property or infringe on other people’s freedoms, but will also be taught that government not only can, but should do precisely these things to people in the interest of the public good. How convenient is that? In…

The Economics of World Government
Lecture by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, as published at LewRockwell.com. At the beginning, I want to repeat a few points that I have made in my previous lecture on law and economics, and then I want to get to an entirely different subject than the one that I dealt with in that previous lecture. Because there is…
Law and Intellectual Property in a Stateless Society
Written by Stephan Kinsella for LibertarianPapers.org. Abstract: An ethic of self-ownership combined with Lockean homesteading of external resources provides a plausible grounding both for anarchist opposition to the state and for an attractive anarchist legal order. Such an ethic can be understood as specifying that each person prima facie has the right to control his…
A Fundamental Flaw of Central Planning
Written by Rollo McFloogle for Inside McFloogle’s Mind. As you progress deeper in thought about free markets and the state and the moral consequences of both, you begin to see some of the intricacies of how they work. Prior to this, you were able to see in more and more ways that the state cannot…
Christian Anarchism: Communitarian or Capitalist?
Written by Alexander W. Salter for LibertarianPapers.org. Abstract: I build on Christoyannopoulous’s (2011) compendium of Christian anarchist thought to shed light on the divergence between Christian anarcho-communitarians and Christian anarcho-capitalists. The anarcho-communitarians believe the institution of private property is contrary to the Word of Christ, while the anarcho-capitalists hold it is justifiable. I show that…
Anarchy, State, and Gun Ownership
Written by David Greenwald for Mises.org. The controversy over whether the Federal Government should ban the possession by citizens of certain types, or all types, of firearms has been raging back and forth for a very long time. I remember as a child seeing news coverage of horrific acts of violence involving firearms. I also…
Free Children
Writes Free Your Kids: Our “free” children do not run wild. They don’t run the house. We do not live in chaos. We do have rules in our house, but they derive from one basic premise: do what you wish so long as you’re not harming another. Hitting someone won’t be tolerated. Breaking an agreement…
Are Children Self-Owners or Slaves?
Children’s “rights”* is a topic of confusion and uncertainty among libertarians. I’d like to solve this once and for all, but not right now. Perhaps someday. Today, I only ask libertarians to consider the logical conclusions of either 1) children owning themselves and therefore possessing all the “rights” associated with ownership or 2) children are…
