And every time we object to a thing being done by Government, it concludes that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of education by the State — then we are against education altogether. We object to a State religion — then we would have no religion at all. We object to an equality which is brought about by the State — then we are against equality etc., etc. They might as well accuse us of wishing men not to eat, because we object to the cultivation of corn by the State."Principles of Social Economy by Yves Guyot 1892Economic prejudices by Yves Guyot 1910Where and why Public Ownership has Failed by Yves Guyot 1914The Inherent Evils of all State Governments Demonstrated by Edmund Burker 1858Pictures of the Socialistic Future by Eugene Richter 1912A Study in Socialism by Benedict Elder 1915The Voluntaryist Creed by Herbert Spencer and Auberon Herbert 1908The Principles of Voluntaryism and Free Life by Auberon Herbert 1897A Plea for Liberty, an Argument against Socialism and Socialistic legislation by Thomas Mackay 1891Why I am Opposed to Socialism by Edward Silvin 1913Popular Fallacies Regarding Trade by Frederic Bastiat 1882The Federal Reserve Monster by Jim Jam Jems 1922A Disquisition on Government by John C Calhoun 1851Both Sides of the Tariff Question by the world's leading men 1890Protectionism, the -ism which teaches that waste makes wealth by William Graham Sumner 1885The Society of Tomorrow: a forecast of its political and economic organisation by Gustav Molinari 1904 (Molinari is considered by some to be the first anarcho-capitalist)The Production of Security Gustav Molinari 1849No Treason, Volume 1 by Lysander Spooner 1867 (individualist anarchist)No Treason, Volume 2 by Lysander Spooner 1867 (Spooner argued that the Constitution was a contract of government which could not logically apply to anyone other than the individuals who signed it, and was thus void)No Treason, Volume 3 by Lysander Spooner 1867Vices Are Not Crimes by Lysander Spooner 1875History of Economic Thought by Lewis Haney 1922The Evolution of Modern Capitalism by JA Hobson 1907"All the productive economies tend as before to pass into the hands of the consumer in reduced prices of commodities."The Decline of Self-Onwership by Frank C Woodward, Litt.

In his view, government should get out of the way, or at most serve as a "night-watchman", and allow human beings freedom to compete. In this competition, the weak would die and the strong survive, to the eventual improvement of the human race.The divine drama of history and civilisation by James E Smith 1854Although an early Owenite socialist, he eventually rejected its collective idea of property, and found in individualism a "universalism" that allowed for the development of the "original genius."

Mencken, Individualist 1910The Slavery of Our Times by Leo TolstoyTHE slavery of our times results from three sets of laws-those about land, taxes, and property.

Economic sophisms by Frederick Bastiat 1873Essays on Political Economy by Frederick BastiatHarmonies of political economy by Frederick Bastiat 1860What is free trade by Frederick Bastiat 1867 (searchable pdf)Bastiat was the author of many works on economics and political economy, generally characterized by their clear organization, forceful argumentation, and acerbic wit. Among his better known works is Economic Sophisms, which contains many strongly-worded attacks on statist policies. Contained within Economic Sophisms is the famous satirical parable known as the "Candlemakers' petition" which presents itself as a demand from the candlemakers' guild to the French government, asking the government to block out the Sun to prevent its unfair competition with their products. He also facetiously "advocated" the cutting off of everyone's right hand, based on the assumptions that more difficulty means more work and more work means more wealth.A Modest Proposal: For Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a satirical essay by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift appears to suggest in his essay that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. By doing this he mocks the authority of the British officials. This is when Britain had taken over Ireland and put heavy restrictions on their trade, stifling their economy. The essay has been noted by historians as being the first documented satirical essay.

Now, I say, for instance, the moon undergoes an eclipse: and of the inquiry why a thing is that thing which it is, there is one principle and one cause in the case of all things, as on what account a man is a man, or a musician a musician, except some one say that each thing is indivisible in regard to itself; but this would be to constitute unity: but this is both common in the case of all things, and is a thing that is concise."Principles of logic by George Hayward Joyce 1908"Among mediaeval authors the Spanish Scotist Antonius Andreae argues that the first place should belong to the principle Every Being is a Being. But the authority both of St. Thomas and of Scotus (Quaest. sup. Met. IV., Q. 3) was against him: and he is expressly refuted by Suarez. Leibniz however makes the principle of Identity, which he gives as Everything is what it is, the first of the primitive truths of reason which are affirmative..."The Monadology and Other Philosophical Writings by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz 1898"A is A (every real thing is identical with itself) at all times, in all circumstances, throughout all changes, in every variety of relations.

Those animals which were incapable of forming an agreement to the end that they neither might injure nor be injured are without either justice or injustice. Similarly, those tribes which could not or would not form a covenant to the same end are in a like predicament. There is no such thing as an intrinsic or abstract justice.Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Men 1790"The birthright of man ... is such a degree of liberty, civil and religious, as is compatible with the liberty of every other individual with whom he is united in a social compact, and the continued existence of that compact."On the Duty of Man and Citizen by Samuel von Pufendorf 1682The Principles of Ethics by Herbert Spencer 1898The Principles of Ethics by Herbert Spencer 1898 Volume 2Every man is free to do that  which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.

The newspaper The Economist was founded, partly in opposition to the Corn Laws, in 1843, and free trade was discussed in such places as The Cobden Club, founded a year after the death of Richard Cobden, in 1866.Cobden's work and opinions by Reginal Welby 1904Reminiscences of Richard Cobden by Julie Salis 1895Why No Good Catholic Can Become a Socialist by Kenelm Digby Best 1909The Real Wealth of Nations by John S.

Now evolution is accepted as a working basis in every university in Europe and America, and no one with a scientific basis wastes time in questioning it. Nevertheless, there has been until now been no popular explanation of the evolution of man in simple form at a low price. There is very good reason for this. If laborers understand science, they become socialists, and the capitalists who control most publishing houses naturally do not want them to understand it."
