The Anatomy of the State (LvMI)

Summary:

The book presents a critical analysis of the state, arguing that it is an institution that inherently seeks to expand its power at the expense of individual freedom. It examines the methods by which the state maintains control, including taxation, war, and propaganda, and advocates for a society organized around voluntary associations and free-market principles.

Key points:

1. State as a Parasite: Rothbard views the state as a parasitic entity exploiting citizens through force and coercion, often disguised as protection.
