Abstrakt


Libertarians, all too often, focus, and brilliantly so, on economics and personal liberties. Unfortunately, many do so at the expense of foreign policy, imperialism, U.S. adventurism abroad. The purpose of the present paper is to set the record straight, and to correct this imbalance. This paper is a critique of libertarian warmongers, whether they support imperialism purposefully or not.


Słowa kluczowe
