Anarchy, State, and Utopia Audiobook (Free)

The foundational text of libertarian thought, named among the 100 Most Influential Books since World War II (Times Literary Health supplement)

First posted in response to John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice, Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia has turned into a defining text message of traditional libertarian thought. Complicated and ultimately rejecting liberal, socialist, and conservative agendas, Nozick boldly asserts the rights of people are violated like a state’s duties increase — and that the only way to avoid these violations may be the creation of the minimalist state limited by the enforcement of agreements and to safety against force, fraud, and theft.

Winner from the Country wide Book Honor and translated into over one hundred languages, Anarchy, Condition and Utopia remains perhaps one of the most theoretically trenchant and philosophically rich defenses of economic liberalism to time. With an intro by philosopher Thomas Nagel, this model brings Nozick and his work to today’s era of readers.
