Libertarianism is a political theory that delves into the scope and justification of state authority, but its influence extends far beyond this realm. Libertarians have explored a wide range of social and political issues, including vaccine mandates, gun control, and racial and sexual inequalities. While their political philosophy is well-known, their contributions to other areas of social and political philosophy are often overlooked.
This handbook aims to provide a comprehensive and definitive reference on libertarianism, covering the central ideas from philosophy, politics, and economics. It offers an in-depth survey of the key concepts and applications of libertarianism to contemporary policy issues.
The book is organized into forty chapters, each dedicated to a specific topic within libertarian scholarship. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects, including natural rights theories, utilitarianism, immigration policy, punishment and policing, intellectual property, and criticisms of libertarianism from various perspectives.
Each chapter in this handbook presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of historical and contemporary libertarian thought on its subject. It serves as an essential guide to current scholarship and a starting point for discovering future lines of research. The book also includes a section on how libertarian political theory relates to various schools of economic thought, such as the Chicago, Austrian, Bloomington, and Public Choice schools.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in libertarianism, whether they are sympathetic to the philosophy or critical of it. It provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to libertarianism, covering its core principles, historical development, and applications to contemporary policy issues.
