Anarchy, State and Utopia by Robert Nozick [TRADE PAPERBACK] 1974

Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia has become a defining text of classic libertarian thought. Challenging and ultimately rejecting liberal, socialist, and conservative agendas, Nozick boldly asserts that the rights of individuals are violated as a state's responsibilities increase-and that the only way to avoid these violations is the creation of a minimalist state limited to the enforcement of contracts and to protection against force, fraud, and theft. Winner of the National Book Award, and named one of the 100 Most Influential Books since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement.
