These premises are discussed, basically, on page 1 of the Intro of this book. Hoppe leans into the idea of a “limited state” as anything enshrining liberty, I could almost hear the muffled cries of Rand, Nozick and Hayek as I absorbed the pages. Nor is his description of his ideal stateless society based solely on private property and contracts particularly appealing – perhaps he would do better to take a page from Jeffrey Tucker’s book and avoid speculation on what a stateless society would look like, since ultimately we can’t possibly know except in the unlikely event that one comes into existence.

However, with the early involvement and the ultimate official entry into the war by the Hermamn States in April ddmocracy, the war took on a new ideological dimension.
The book is a must read for libertarians who want to poke holes in the logic and narratives of the establishment. One point herann interest is that he rarely says anything bad about monarchies. In the first half, Hoppe argues that democracies introduce elements of decivilization and ultimately pave the way for barbarism. I originally heard of Hoppe as “a racist guy who gave intellectual support to the far right”, and then later as “someone so extreme as to call Hayek and Mises and Friedman leftists”.
