The Uniqueness of Western Law

Defending an original interpretation
of libertarian theory, Richard Storey, taking his bearings from the
work of groundbreaking thinkers like Ricardo Duchesne and
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, builds on his opening premise that libertarianism
is ‘only a theory of law’, to show precisely what this
deceptively simple formulation really
contains. Unfolding the ramifications of libertarian thought — on
everything from nationalism, statism and multiculturalism to our
understanding of the history and politics of the West, from democracy
and terrorism to womanhood and fatherhood — Storey’s work offers
challenges to the defenders and critics of libertarianism alike, and
above all, opens new territory for consideration of the great
challenges confronting the West at this historical moment.
