Private Property, Law, and the State - Daniel Alexander Brackins

Private Property, Law, and the State provides a concise and rigorous presentation of property rights theory and its application in a stateless society. Moreover, a complete and universal ethical framework based on private property is developed. A wide range of topics are covered including: democracy, justice, immigration, the environment, national defense, intellectual property, education, and others. Brackins begins by providing an ethical foundation for leading a moral life and then deconstructs a multitude of statist arguments with uncompromising logic. Even longstanding political theories such as democracy and minarchism are no longer safe from examination. The author is not content with the mere dissolution of these long-held beliefs, but also offers practical solutions on what steps society can take to replace them.
