Synopsis

As you might expect, a wee book on the concept of rights, as it might apply to political and philosophical discussion. Libertarian scholars have had a difficult time being taken seriously in intellectual circles. There's a good reason for this. While they have gained recognition and acclaim for their staunch defense of the free market, compelling advocacy of civil liberties and devastating condemnation of interventionism, their stubborn reliance on the ancient myth of natural rights leaves them in philosophical disrepute. The doctrine of natural rights has persisted among libertarians, because there never was a systematic and thorough critique of all it implies. Until The Myth of Natural Rights. In one compact work, L.A. Rollins shatters the myth of natural rights, while exposing the 'bleeding-heart libertarians' that promote it.
