Political Individualism


“Political freedom requires economic freedom. Political and economic restrictions lead, sooner or later, to the extension of coercive measures on the part of the state and undermine individual freedom.”

Personally, I believe that the term "political freedom" amounts to an oxymoron. Political means always intervene the freedom of individuals. Thus, economic freedom requires the absence of political influence.

As I see it the second sentence in this description of an Austrian school characteristic negates the first sentence.
