Description
IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, a great deal of ink has been spilled on the issue of the proper view of causation (in its association with criminality), (1) specifically as a reaction to the traditional Rothbardian position (2) and the implications of this position, as presented by Walter Block. (3) The critiques made by such libertarian luminaries as Hans Hoppe, Frank van Dun, Stephan Kinsella, and Patrick Tinsley have been in the direction of favoring an expansion of the Rothbardian framework to include actions outside the overt invasion of physical property, and thereby expanding the class of activities which are prohibited under libertarianism. (4) This paper shall both attempt to defend the core of the Rothbardian view of criminal responsibility from the criticisms lodged against it, and then further seek to shrink the class of prohibited activities by applying the Rothbardian analysis in a more consistent and complete manner. I. Hans-Hermann Hoppe
