The Voluntaryist Creed: Being the Herbert Spencer Lecture Delivered at Oxford, June 7, 1906 (London: Oxford University, 1908) Auberon Herbert (1838-1906) served as a member of Parliament from 1870 to 1874, only to repudiate the political process as a means of bringing about social change. Herbert turned instead to individualism and the spontaneous, voluntary cooperation of free individuals in a free market. Here Herbert contrasts a society governed by political power with a society of free individuals. The Libertarianism.org Readers series provides an introduction to the major ideas and thinkers in the libertarian tradition.
