Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature and Other Essays

The book is his comprehensive effort to present libertarianism as a “science of liberty”, which rests on the incontrovertible fact that people are different. Procrustean efforts to impose equality are inimical to liberty. This has not prevented egalitarianism from being the dominant ideology of our age. The court intellectuals support it, but they have no arguments to defend their views, which go against human nature.Not only is equality unnatural; it contravenes the division of labor, the most important cause of a productive economy.The book contains a wide variety of other essays, all written with Rothbard’s vast knowledge and acute insight.
