Escape from Leviathan: Liberty, Welfare and Anarchy Reconciled

The principal criticism of libertarianism is that it would simply damage human welfare. In response, this book considers the extremist libertarian thesis: there is no conceptual or practical clash among the most plausible conceptions of economic rationality, interpersonal liberty, human welfare, and market anarchy. Eschewing moral advocacy as a distraction, it offers a sophisticated, philosophical economic defence of this objective thesis, from the best criticisms in the literature.
