Anarchy, State and Utopia

In the realm of modern political philosophy few books have had the impact that Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State and Utopia had. This libertarian classic won him the Naitonal Book Award in 1975, been translated into about a dozen languages and has been named one of the 100 most influential books since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement.

Nozick’s book was considered the definitive answer to the theories of John Rawls which justified coercive redistribution of wealth. Nozick showed that when the state expands to areas beyond that of protecting the rights of individuals it can only do so by violating the rights of people.
