Description: Product Description
Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Hephaestus Books continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Left-libertarians.

More info: Left-libertarianism names several related but distinct approaches to politics, society, culture, and political and social theory. Some social anarchists and libertarian socialists, including Murray Bookchin, are sometimes called left-libertarian. Noam Chomsky also refers to himself as a left libertarian. Left-libertarians in this sense may share with "traditional socialism a distrust of the market, of private investment, and of the achievement ethic, and a commitment to expansion of the welfare state." However, left-libertarianism is perhaps used with particular frequency today to refer to either of two positions whose proponents draw radical conclusions from classical liberal or libertarian premises-one emphasizing links between self-ownership and egalitarianism, the other stressing the socially transformative potential of non-aggression and free markets.
