DESCRIPTION:
He shows how the state wrecks freedom, destroys civilization, and threatens all lives and property and social wellbeing, all under the veneer of "good intentions".. He shows how it is an institution that violates all that we hold as honest and moral, and how it operates under a false cover. He explains what a state is and what it is not. Murray Rothbard was known as the state's greatest living enemy, and this book is his most powerful statement on the topic
For states like Germany before 19For states like Germany before 1945 John I read this book after hearing rave reviews. Rothbard's main point is that the state is not built or created on a social contract model, but originated as a group of bandits who controlled a territory. Out of tribute came taxes. Ok. Fair enough. For states like Germany before 1945, and Russia after 1917, I fully concur. But what about Switzerland. It seems to me that Swiss democracy really was a social contract and not a group of bandits who took over and are holding the Swiss hostage. Thus I prefer the other Austrian economic thinkers like Mises a. 5 I read this book after hearing rave reviews.

Individual freedom for all is the objective. It starts with the individual.Each individual works to supply himself and his family. Without government at all levels taking huge chunks of each individual's wealth, we could all happily supply ourselves. The government cannot give to any person except what it has first stolen from others i.e. taxed. Who knows what grea. De-brainwash yourself You think your president really, truly represents you and has your best interests in mind? You think that by voting you make a difference? You think that the government should take care of the economy, health care, and every possible aspect of your life? If so, think again or you will be in for a big surprise if you haven't realized it as of now. If you already had intuitions about the parasitic, and fundamentally flawed nature of government but still couldn't grasp it in its horrific totality then this is the book you need to read.Murray Rothbard
