The Myth of National Defense: Essays on the Theory and History of Security Production

Hans-Hermann Hoppe

4.9/5 (12469 ratings)

Description:With 11 chapters by top libertarian scholars on all aspects of defense, The Myth of National Defense, edited by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, represents an ambitious attempt to extend the idea of free enterprise to the provision of security services. It argues that "national defense" as provided by government is a myth — not unlike the myth of socialism itself. Defense services are more viably privatized and replaced by the market provision of security.About this collection, Hoppe's writes, "Even aside from day-to-day security risks, the reality of terrorism and its resulting mayhem has demonstrated the inability of government to provide adequate security against attacks on person and property. The lesson of September 11 is indisputable: government had not only failed to act as a guardian of security and protection but had actually been the primary agent in creating insecurity and exposure to risk, and, moreover, did not achieve secure justice once the crime had been committed. However, this was not the lesson that was drawn from the affair. Instead, the political elite successfully exploited public fears to vastly increase government spending, central credit inflation, bureaucratic management, citizen surveillance, regulation of transportation, and generally wage an all out attack on liberty and property."To search for Mises Institute titles, enter a keyword and LvMI (short for Ludwig von Mises Institute); e.g., Depression LvMIWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
