Welfare Before the Welfare State – Mutual Aid

by | Dec 14, 2020

The Libertarian approach to the welfare problem, then, is to abolish all coercive, public welfare, and to substitute for it private charity based on the principle of encouraging self-help, bolstered also by inculcating the virtues of self-reliance and independence throughout society.

Murray N. Rothbard
Economic Controversies, pp. 902–03
