Is Politics Insoluble?

This is the final collection of essays by the 20th century’s premier economic journalist. Hazlitt originally intended this to be a larger project, but his death in 1993 prevented him from finishing all of the planned chapters. What he did complete is presented here as a series of essays all dealing with the question posed by the title. Of particular interest here are a number of chapters on historical figures such as J. S. Mill and Herbert Spencer, as well as a critical analysis of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia and Hazlitt’s own suggestions for how libertarians should move forward.
