Reinterpreting LibertarianismEdition 1

This volume provides a thorough reconsideration of libertarian theory, offering novel perspectives that challenge established assumptions and initiate new directions for philosophical, legal and economic investigation.

By tackling such topics as voluntariness, dignity and inalienability of rights, game theory, healthcare, and the political relevance of monarchy, the chapters provide readers with novel analytical instruments for delving more deeply into libertarianism. Through detailed examinations of such issues as fraud, blackmail, slavery, liability, and technological disruption, contributors reconsider the foundations of libertarian principles while demonstrating how they apply to pressing contemporary practical problems. The book offers critical reassessments of established doctrines and constructive proposals for reformulating libertarianism, while trying to remedy its theoretical weaknesses. In doing so, it furnishes its readers with a framework that helps to understand both the theoretical coherence and the practical adaptability of libertarian ideas, ensuring its relevance for philosophers, legal theorists, economists, and policymakers alike.

The book will be of great interest to political economists, political philosophers, political scientists, ethicists, and everyone in libertarianism in all its forms.
