Libertarian Manifesto: An Agorist Primer

The 25th Anniversary Edition of the "New Libertarian Manifesto" by Samuel Edward Konkin III (1947-2004) brings this groundbreaking work back into print. First published in October 1980, the Manifesto is the most concise treatise on Counter-Economics and Agorism available to the public. This new edition is the fourth printing of the book, which has long been considered an underground anarchist classic.

The Manifesto is divided into five chapters, each encompassing Konkin's unique view of libertarianism: I. Statism: Our Condition; II. Agorism: Our Goal; III. Counter-Economics: Our Means; IV. Revolution: Our Strategy; and V. Action: Our Tactics.

In addition to the Manifesto itself, this edition includes critiques of the work by respected figures such as Murray N. Rothbard, Ph.D., Robert LeFevre, and Erwin S. Strauss, as well as replies from Samuel Edward Konkin III. These previously published materials, originally appearing in the 1981 publication "Strategy of the New Libertarian Alliance," have been out of print until now, making this a comprehensive and valuable collection for readers.

The New Libertarian Manifesto has been praised for its concise and compelling presentation of Konkin's vision for a libertarian future, achieved through the Counter-Economic and Agorist strategies outlined in the work. The book's enduring popularity and influence among anarchist and libertarian thinkers is a testament to the power and relevance of Konkin's ideas.

This 25th Anniversary Edition offers readers a chance to revisit or discover this seminal work, and to engage with the critical discourse that has surrounded it over the years. Konkin's insights into the nature of the state, the means of achieving liberty, and the tactics of revolutionary change continue to resonate with those seeking alternatives to the status quo.

The publication of this new edition is a significant event for the libertarian and anarchist movements, providing both a historic perspective and a blueprint for future action. Scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the ongoing struggle for individual freedom and voluntary association will find much to explore and consider within the pages of the New Libertarian Manifesto.
