Incisive and engaging, The Free Market Existentialist proposes a new philosophy that is a synthesis of existentialism, amoralism, and libertarianism.

• Argues that Sartre’s existentialism fits better with capitalism than with Marxism
• Serves as a rallying cry for a new alternative, a minimal state funded by an equal tax
• Confronts the “final delusion” of metaphysical morality, and proposes that we have nothing to fear from an amoral world
• Begins an essential conversation for the 21st century for students, scholars, and armchair philosophers alike with clear, accessible discussions of a range of topics across philosophy including atheism, evolutionary theory, and ethics
