Books
and Articles
- Dr.
Hull's
- Books
- In progress: "Private Property: The Road to Liberty," tentative title. The
book explains the true meaning of the right to property, and provides what
this right has been sorely lacking: a moral foundation. It uses numerous
examples of property rights violations -- including eminent domain, land-use
regulations, concerted attacks on copyrights and patents -- to argue that
the right to property is nearly extinct in America. Dr. Hull also shows how
the Founders were right in their conviction that all rights -- the rights to
life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness -- are a unity.
- The
Abolition of Antitrust, Gary Hull, editor and contributing
author (Transaction Publishers, May 2005)
(Read

The Abolition of Antitrust asserts that antitrust laws—on
economic, legal, and moral grounds—are bad, and provides
convincing evidence supporting arguments for their total abolition.
Every year, new antitrust prosecutions arise in the U.S. courts,
as in the cases against 3M and Visa/MasterCard, as well as
a number of ongoing antitrust cases, such as those involving
Microsoft and college football’s use of the Bowl Championship
Series (BCS). Gary Hull and the contributing authors show
that these cases—as well as the very Antitrust Act itself—are
based on an erroneous interpretation of the history of American
business, are premised on bad economics and equivocate between
economic and political power—the power to produce versus
the power to use physical force. They argue that antitrust
prosecutions are based on a horrible moral inversion: that
it is acceptable to sacrifice America’s best producers.

- "The
Collapse of Building" by Dr. Gary Hull
(Automated Builder, June-August 2003)
"Government controls are destroying the building industry,
and are devastating the lives of the builders. The regulatory
system has created an Alice-in-Wonderland world, in which
builders do not and cannot know what obstacles will be thrown
in their paths. It is a world where justice has been turned
on its head, where production is anathematized and where the
arbitrary reigns. Builders are desperately awaiting their
true defenders—defenders who will uphold the individual's
right to work for his benefit alone, and to own unequivocally
the fruits of his production."

- The
Foreign Policy of Self-Interest: A Moral Ideal for America
by Peter Schwartz
"America's foreign policy, Mr. Schwartz argues, is driven
by the view that the pursuit of self-interest is morally tainted--i.e.,
that if we wish to do what is right, we must sacrifice our
interests for the sake of other nations. This is why we are
so appeasingly apologetic when it comes to asserting our right
to live free from the threat of force. It is why we are so
hesitant in implementing our moral obligation to eliminate
all such threats by military means. It is why we are failing
in our war against terrorism."
