Abstract

My encounter with libertarian political philosophy came in a Mengerian fashion, as the unintentional consequence of an intentional search for alternatives to the Marxist vision that I encountered upon entering University. Having grown up in an aristocratic family, the revolutionary zeal of these leftist activists, who situated the origin of all evils in those institutions that are part and parcel of the west—from the family to the market—seemed to be going too far. The struggle to find a more realistic picture of the economic, social, and political reality brought me to learn about Friedman, Hayek, Mises, and ultimately Rothbard, whose conception of property rights as embedded in a natural law ascertainable through right reason induced me to embrace anarcho-capitalism.
