anosognosicredux asked: Could you point to some good resources on 19th century libertarianism, esp. wrt the role of the govt in creating the proletarian underclass?
The Subsidy of History by Kevin Carson is probably one of the best ones in terms of information density albeit not as thoroughly sourced as some.
And his Studies in Mutualist Political Economy explores the topic deeper and contains some juicy quotations from people who sound basically like supervillains.
Then there’s Wikipedia on the history of libertarianism which gives a general idea of what was going on.
American Anarchism by Wendy McElroy explores the individualist anarchism of the 19th century as one massive but oft forgotten root of modern libertarianism.
(McElroy is sometimes quoted as a prominent libertarian feminist but here’s a very interesting piece in which Roderick Long mansplains demonstrates that sometimes men can understand feminism too and that once again stuff tracks back to the radicals of the 19th century)
