Hans Hermann Hoppe

Hans Hermann Hoppe is a German-American economist and political theorist known for his work in libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism. He argues for a society based on private property and voluntary exchange, emphasizing individual rights and critiques of government intervention. Hoppe is notable for his controversial views on immigration and democracy, advocating for a system he calls "anarcho-capitalism," where all services, including law and security, are provided by the free market. His book "Democracy: The God That Failed" critiques democratic systems and promotes a libertarian alternative. He has influenced libertarian thought significantly, especially regarding property rights and personal sovereignty.
