Antonio Vladika

Antonio Vladika is a Brazilian attorney with a postgraduate specialization in Administrative Law. He serves as a Government Advisor in Campo Limpo Paulista, São Paulo, and works more broadly across the State of São Paulo, assisting municipalities in implementing policies that expand real freedom through concrete, local reforms. His intellectual formation has been shaped by the Austrian School, especially Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe, together with a sustained critique of legal positivism whenever formal validity is treated as a substitute for justice. A devoted reader of economics, political philosophy, and legal theory, with more than 300 books studied, he defends individual liberty and private property as the moral and institutional foundations of social order. He is the author of four books in Portuguese: Metástase da Dor Burocrática, Três Contos sobre a Inexistência, O Amor a Dois Passos do Abismo, and O Niilismo nas Repartições. In public service, he focuses on practical reforms that reduce red tape, restrain interventionism, lower social costs, and strengthen the conditions for economic calculation, investment, and voluntary cooperation.
