Anabaptist communism did not spring out of thin air at the advent of the Reformation. Its roots can be traced back to an extraordinarily influential late twelfth century Italian mystic, Joachim of Fiore (1145–1202). Joachim was an abbot and hermit in Calabria, in southern Italy. It was Joachim who launched the idea that hidden in the Bible for

Now that the hoopla and the hosannahs from Camp David have died down, we are in a position to evaluate what actually happened there, and what the agreements portend for the future of the Middle East.   One thing we are certain did not happen: Peace for all time and justice for all peoples in a spirit of mutual concessions were not achieved. For

For several years I have been a prophet of libertarian optimism, preaching to all who would hear the good news of impending success for the libertarian cause. My predictions stemmed from an analysis of the permanent crisis of statism—across all areas of American life—which struck America during the 1973-75 period, and which has continued ever

The Establishment media put it this way: After shilly-shallying in a weak and indecisive manner, the Carter administration has at last decided to “get tough” in Africa against the Cuban (and behind them the Soviet) menace.

In my last Plumb Line (February 1979), I wrote of the problem that the space cadet wing of the Libertarian Party poses to the party’s continued growth and development.

It seems to me that the most important concern is to avoid the twin, and equally destructive, traps: of ultrapurist sectarianism, where indeed

Not only were the physiocrats generally consistent advocates of laissez-faire, but they also supported the operation of a free market and the natural rights of person and property. John Locke and the Levellers in England had transformed the rather vague and holistic notions of natural law into the clear-cut, firmly individualistic concepts of the

January 21, 1958 To the Volker Fund: F.A. Hayek’s Constitution of Liberty is, surprisingly and distressingly, an extremely bad, and, I would even say, evil book. Since Hayek is universally regarded, by Right and Left alike, as the leading right-wing intellectual, this will also be an extremely dangerous book. The feeling one gets from reading it

This cri de coeur of the oppressed people of New Netherland against their despotic director, Willem Kiefft, was heeded by the West India Company and Kiefft was removed in May 1645. Unfortunately, the company was delayed two years in sending the new governor, and Kiefft continued to oppress the citizenry in the meanwhile. Even the coming of peace
