Ethics of Liberty

The Ethics of Liberty, written by economist and philosopher Murray Rothbard, advocates for individual liberty based on natural rights and self-ownership. It emphasizes that people naturally own themselves and should be free to make personal choices without unjust interference, as long as they respect others’ rights. The book promotes voluntary cooperation and free markets, arguing that all interactions should be based on consent. In essence, it champions a society where individual freedom is protected by law, rooted in moral principles of respecting others’ autonomy and property rights.
