Story
Lysander Spooner (January 19, 1808 - May 14, 1887) was an American political philosopher, essayist, pamphlet writer, Unitarian, abolitionist, legal theorist, and entrepreneur of the 19th century. He was a strong advocate of the labor movement and severely anti-authoritarian and individualist in political views. Spooner was born on a farm in Athol, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1808, and died on May 14, 1887, in Boston.

Anarcho-capitalism is the most exciting social philosophy of modern times. But how does it work? This book illuminates the ethical system at the heart of anarcho-capitalism. It builds the nonaggression principle from praxeological foundations and develops techniques for applying it to real world conflicts. It explores the edges of libertarianism to show where it shines and where it fails.

The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder - in other words, the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man - comes not from the greed, hatred and intolerance that lurks in our hearts. Rather, it comes from one pernicious and almost universal assumption, one unquestioned belief, one irrational, self-contradictory superstition: the belief in "authority".

In For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, Rothbard proposes a once-and-for-all escape from the two major political parties, the ideologies they embrace, and their central plans for using state power against people. Libertarianism is Rothbard's radical alternative that says state power is unworkable and immoral, and ought to be curbed and finally overthrown.

Human Action is the most important book on political economy you will ever own.

You will treasure this volume. The Scholar's Edition is the original, unaltered treatise (originally published in 1949) that shaped a generation of Austrians and made possible the intellectual movement that is leading the global charge for free markets.

American history was driven by clashes between those interested in preserving social order and those more interested in pursuing their own desires---the "respectable" versus the "degenerate", the moral versus the immoral. The more that "bad" people existed, resisted, and won, the greater was our common good. In A Renegade History of the United States, Russell introduces us to the origins of our nation's identity as we have never known them before.

The new single-volume edition of Conceived in Liberty is here! After so many years of having to juggle four volumes, the Mises Institute has finally put it all together in a single book. This makes it easier to listen to and makes clearer just what a contribution this book is to the history of libertarian literature. There's never been a better time to remember the revolutionary and even libertarian roots of the American founding, and there's no better guide to what this means in the narrative of the colonial period than Murray Rothbard.

Here is Hans Hoppe's first treatise in English - actually his first book in English - and the one that put him on the map as a social thinker and economist to watch. He argued that there are only two possible archetypes in economic affairs: socialism and capitalism. All systems are combinations of those two types. The capitalist model he defines as pure protection of private property, free association, and exchange - no exceptions. All deviations from that ideal are species of socialism, with public ownership and interference with trade.

Publisher's Summary
Lysander Spooner was one of slavery’s fiercest enemies. As a lawyer, he offered free legal services to escaped slaves, defending them in court. He advocated smuggling guns to slaves, with which to overthrow their masters, and take possession of their property. “Give the Slave-holders, then, a taste of their own whips.”
Yet when the Civil War erupted, Spooner wasted no time in opposing the Union’s war against the Confederacy. After the war, when Northern troops occupied the conquered Southern lands, purging their governments of the warped scaffolding that had propped up slavery for centuries, Spooner called them the enemies of freedom.
What odd logic could harmonize these seemingly dissonant opinions? What philosophy could possibly despise slavery, and despise Abraham Lincoln?
The answer lies in the essay before you, Lysander Spooner’s most influential work: No Treason.
Here you will find many unorthodox, and certainly unpopular, perspectives. Many notions, foundational to our concept of democracy, will be questioned, and the solutions offered will undoubtedly run against the grain of our upbringing, and everything we’ve been told about freedom.
He’ll advocate peace and violence, the rule of law, and anarchy.
You may not be convinced, but you will certainly be interested.

I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE WORDS FOR A LONG TIME
IT HAS TAKEN ME 20 PLUS YEAES TO KNOW THE WORDS TO THE EVIL I HAVE FELT AROUND ME. THE INDOCTRINATION NEVER TOOK. AND I KNEW THERE WAS THIS SHADOW AROUND US. THAT COWARD men WITH BADGES WERE NOTHING MORE THAN THE THUGS OF OLD ROBBING, RAPING, MURDERING ONLY ACCOUNTABLE TO THEMSELVES. THAT "government" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THE ORGANIZATION OR CULT OF SAID MEN. I WISH IT HAD NOT TAKEN 25yrS TO KNOW THESE WORDS. BUT IT IS MY GOAL THAT THE NEXT 25yrs I MAKE SURE 500 MORE WILL AT LEAST KNOW.THE WORDS.

Superb Audiobook!
It is perhaps of some interest to say that I for many years, marginalized Lysander Spooner. These years were my sojourn in neoconservitism, in which I considered him simply as a antislavery advocate. I emerged from neoconservatism into a libertarian belief system.
Libertarian literature has many citations from Lysander Spooner, and this led me to believe that he was a man dedicated to liberty. And not just a antislavery advocate. With this in mind, I found "No Treason" to be a truly excellent treatise on liberty, and I can highly recommend it. Also, Ayrton Parham did a great job reading, and presenting the text - many, many thanks!

True Nature of the State
I never knew who Lysander Spooner was until I read Hologram of Liberty. I was so happy (and amazed) I found this on audible. If you’re an ‘outside the box’ thinker and believe in the ideas of freedom and liberty, this book might be for you.
The basic premise that Spooner shares is this: The federal government of the United States of America is sham because the constitution on which it is based is also a sham. I know it’s a difficult idea to accept (and I’m not sure that I fully do - yet) but the more you read/listen to this wonderful book, you realize he makes a very strong case.

Well?
I really enjoyed this book. This is a topic I’ve never read about and a perspective I’ve never heard. It was really nice to learn something now and this book has given me many questions and I’ll be reading more to get them. I disagreed with him on parts here or there but that doesn’t change the fact I learned. He really explains things in a way that it’s not so difficult for someone who knows nothing on the topic to understand it. This was on my recommend and I really did enjoy it.
