Ep. 297
The Voluntaryist Handbook compiles essays and excerpts advocating for voluntaryism, libertarianism, and anarcho-capitalism as alternatives to state control. These writings critique the state’s use of coercion, taxation, and war, while championing individual rights, free markets, and voluntary cooperation. Several arguments critique both mainstream political ideologies and explore historical examples of voluntary associations and private governance. The handbook promotes the idea that a truly free and prosperous society can emerge through individual action and decentralized systems rather than government intervention. It also explores strategies for transitioning towards such a society through peaceful resistance, local action, and counter-economics. Ultimately, the book challenges the legitimacy and necessity of the state.
