That's right, its a book authored by Stephan Kinsella. Since you're a fan you already know that Stephan granted full rights to others to create an audiobook. Since I can't read a 804-page book quickly enough to release it in audio, I'm doing it episodically. I hope you enjoy. -Michael Williams, December 2024

    Part 3 Chapter 8 Causation and Aggression

    In 2001, I presented a paper entitled “Reinach and the Property Libertarians on Causality in the Law” at a Mises Institute symposium on Adolf Reinach and Murray Rothbard. I later collaborated with Patrick Tinsley on an article based on this paper, published in 2004 in a related symposium issue in The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics. This chapter is a substantially revised version of that article.

    Part 3 Chapter 9 A Libertarian Theory of Contract: Title Transfer, Binding Promises, and Inalienability

    While in law school in Louisiana (the only civil law state in the US), I was introduced to the Roman and civil law and also to contract law and theory. It was during my first-year contracts class, in 1988, that I conceived of my “estoppel” based theory of rights. I also became interested in the Rothbard-Evers title-transfer theory of contract. I presented a paper on this topic in 1999, integrating the views of Rothbard and Evers with various concepts from the civil law and the common law. I later published an article on this in the Journal of Libertarian Studies, upon which this chapter is based.

    Part 3 Chapter 10 Inalienability and Punishment: A Reply to George Smith

    George H. Smith published “A Killer’s Right to Life” in Liberty magazine in 1996, making various arguments and claims about inalienability. I responded in the Journal of Libertarian Studies, in a piece which complements and supplements my previous articles on the inalienability and punishment issues, now chapters 5 and 9 in the present volume. Despite my disagreements with Smith on this issue, I respect and have learned from his work, such as his great essay “Justice Entrepreneurship in a Free Market.”

    Chapter 10 Appendix LeFevre's Pacifism

    As noted above, the material here was originally intended to appear in footnote 21, above. Due to its length, I include this material in this appendix.
