Benjamin Tucker: American Individualist Anarchist

The Libertarian Tradition
Jeff Riggenbach

Tucker was a proponent, in the 19th century, of American individualist anarchism. He opposed war because it destroyed liberty, but he favored the allies. Tucker's contribution was as much through his publishing as his own writing. He published Liberty for twenty-five years and he opened a unique bookshop in NYC for other like publishers.
