A Penrose Stairway

Why the Free Market
and Limited Government Are Incompatible

Part I

By RONALD N. NEFF

 


On December 3, 2016, I was pleased and proud to begin posting Part I of Ronald N. Neff’s A Penrose Stairway: Why the Free Market and Limited Government Are Incompatible here at The Last Ditch.

I have posted the eight chapters of Part I on a serial basis, with a new chapter appearing every weekend.

Today I have posted the final chapter of Part I.

The complete work (consisting of two parts) will be published as an e-book by Croatoan Books, a division of WTM Enterprises — its first title. Mr. Neff’s powerful critique of minarchism, from a free-market anarchist point of view, will be an impressive debut for our e-publishing effort.

Mr. Neff is senior editor of The Last Ditch.
