Anatomy of the State
Murray N. Rothbard
Murray
Rothbard was known as the state's greatest living enemy, and this is
his most succinct and powerful statement on the topic, an exhibit A in
how he came to wear that designation proudly. He explains what a state
is and what it is not, according to his own ideological vision. His
shows how it is one institution that purports to hold the right to
violate all that we otherwise hold as honest and moral, and how it
operates under a false cover now and always. He shows how the state
wrecks freedom, destroys civilization, and threatens all lives and
property and social well being.
The essay is seminal in another
respect. Here Rothbard had bound together the cause of private-property
capitalism with anarchist politics – and he was truly the first thinker
in the history of the world to fully forge the perspective that later
came to be known as anarcho-capitalism. He took all that he had learned
from the Misesian tradition and the liberal tradition and the anarchist
tradition to put together what is really a new and highly systematic way
of thinking about the entire subject of political economy and social
thought.
Understanding his point of view has an interesting
effect on any reader. It has the effect of putting things together in a
way that changes the way we see the world.
And he explains all of
this in a very short space, and in this very beautiful book. This is
the first time that this essay has been published separately, and it is
done in order that the book can be ordered in large quantities and
distributed to all interested people.
