Abstract

Libertarianism is a “many splendored” philosophy, with various dimensions contending with one another. Included is anarcho-capitalism, minarchism or limited government libertarianism, constitutionalism, and classical liberalism. Each category has a different perspective on taxation. This chapter explores all of them. But they all have something in common, otherwise they could not all be included in a chapter devoted to libertarianism and taxation. And what is that: all such viewpoints want to minimize taxes to a far greater degree than any other political economic philosophy.
