Barron's writes, "Hans-Hermann Hoppe's dryly titled The Economics and Ethics of Private Property (von Mises Institute, 2006), is anything but dry.

In it, one will find a collection of essays rich in economic scholarship and deep in philosophical inquiry in whic. "No right to life and liberty without the right to private property." according to Paul Shetler. The concept of "Property Rights" are under attack from conservatives, liberals, and our legal system. This book examines the interdependence between our unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (read the latter as property). The book is well written and the analysis is clearly presented. It is a delight to read and convincingly presents the ethical and moral basis for private property In a free society.. Hans Hermann Hoppe is an intellectual giant, standing on normbenign Hans Hermann Hoppe is an intellectual giant, standing on the shoulders of another, his tutor Murray N .Rothbard. He takes Rothbardian ethics and logic to a whole new level, anticipating the known Statist arguments and dealing them crushing, effective, argumentative blows. The book isn't long, and with his cutting wit and strong thinking, it need not be.
