Samenvatting
Incisive and engaging, The Free Market Existentialist proposes a new philosophy that is a synthesis of existentialism, amoralism, and libertarianism.
Argues that Sartre s existentialism fits better with capitalism than with Marxism
Serves as a rallying cry for a new alternative, a minimal state funded by an equal tax
Confronts the final delusion of metaphysical morality, and proposes that we have nothing to fear from an amoral world
Begins an essential conversation for the 21st century for students, scholars, and armchair philosophers alike with clear, accessible discussions of a range of topics across philosophy including atheism, evolutionary theory, and ethics
