Murray Rothbard (1926-1995) was an economist, historian,
philosopher, and legal theoretician. His work was unified by a
passionate and resolute commitment to a libertarianism that may be
characterized as 'anarcho-capitalism' and which implied a belief
that even the legal system may be provided privately without the
need for a coercive collective authority. Hence,
anarcho-capitalists envisage a society where the traditional role
of government is wholly subsumed by private, profit-making
enterprises and all social relationships are ultimately founded
upon consent. Rothbard's unique intellectual contribution was to
build this system of thought from many pre-existing but previously
disparate strands and to develop it to its logical conclusion.
Rothbard's starting points were the notions of methodological
individualism, natural rights theory, and individual
self-ownership. He showed that if we wish these seriously then the
justification for government falls away. According to Rothbard
government can only be 'justified' if we abandon the notion that
individuals have the right to determine what to do with their own
bodies, a step he believed to be unconscionable.
