More than any other single period, World War I was the critical watershed for the American business system. It was a "war collectivism," a totally planned economy run largely by big-business interest through the instrumentality of the central government, which served as the model, the precedent, and the inspiration for state corporate capitalism for the remainder of the century.

The book attempts to set forth a reasoned case for the proposition that collectivism, both in its communist and in its fascist forms, is a false Utopia, on the basis of the demonstrable facts of the Soviet, Germany, and Italian experiments. There is also an effort to show the positive complement of this negative proposition: that free institutions possess a pragmatic value far outweighing the...

Lately I've written several articles (1, 2, and 3) warning Austro-libertarians of a dangerous trend. I am concerned that many bona fide Rothbardians are so disgusted with fiat money and fractional reserve banking systems that they endorse criticisms of these institutions even when they are based on faulty economics. In particular, much of the handwringing over the large current account deficits...

Here is an extremely interesting book from 1937: Collectivism: A False Utopia (link takes you to full text).On the plus side, this book is an excellent demonstration of the commonality between Nazi German, Fascist Italy, and Soviet Russia. The governments he analyzes are all socialist in their practical essence. And notice the year: 1937. This is an impressive thesis given the times, not too long...

These days, MMT—modern monetary theory—is all the rage.
Most people, especially among those criticizing this (post)modern way of looking at money and government spending, have focused on the macroeconomic parts of the illusive MMT promise. The gist of the MMT framework is that we can all have nice things if only government officials would...

Could this be the reason why Austrian thinkers tend to live to very old age? The Scotsman reports that "New research from sociologist Dr William Cockerham and colleagues from the University of Alabama in the United States has found that differences in attitudes to looking after your body and your health are predicted by your political allegiances. It seems those who believe the state should take...

Many of them dealt with the morality of collectivism. In honor of the books 75th anniversary this year, please consider Part 2 of our considerations— Collectivism and Morality. (See...

An individual kills someone—for money, out of jealousy, as an act of revenge, or because he doesn't like his victim's looks. A chorus of left-"liberals" rushes in to excuse his act, especially if he is poor. He is not responsible, they say. The real criminal is "Society," for having allowed him to live in the conditions that led him to kill.Another individual owns a refrigerator, an air...

The definition has been accepted by the most consistent practitioners of collectivist creed in failed socialist countries. But certain left-libertarian theoreticians (“mutualist” Kevin Carson is prominent among them) deny that state ownership captures the essence of...
