Death by Regulation – How the U.S. Government is Killing Americans

by | May 20, 2020

Any statute or administrative regulation necessarily makes actions
illegal that are not overt initiations of crimes or torts according to
libertarian theory. Every statute or administrative rule is therefore
illegitimate and itself invasive and a criminal interference with the
property rights of noncriminals.

Murray N. Rothbard – Economic Controversies, p. 406

 

In short, government regulation consists of coercively interfering in what would otherwise be a voluntary exchange, causing death that would not occur if the interference hadn’t taken place.

 

“Death by Regulation” is the title of a great book by Mary J. Ruwart, can be found here: http://www.ruwart.com/product/death-regulation
