Democracy – The God That Failed by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
The Economics and Politics of Monarchy, Democracy, and Natural Order
The book presents a libertarian critique of modern democracy, arguing that electoral politics and the separation of rulers from ownership create incentives for short-term redistribution, public debt, inflation, welfare expansion, and foreign adventurism that erode prosperity and social order; it contends that a system based on private property, voluntary contractual arrangements, and market-provided law and security would better protect freedom and long-term interests, and uses praxeological and ethical arguments to justify replacing democratic institutions with a proprietary, decentralized order while criticizing egalitarian and open-immigration policies.
