A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism is Hans-Hermann Hoppe's seminal work that offers a comprehensive analysis of the economic, political, and ethical dimensions of socialism and capitalism. Hoppe posits that all economic systems can be categorized as variations of either socialism or capitalism, with capitalism defined by the absolute protection of private property, voluntary association, and free exchange. He critiques various forms of socialism, including social democracy, conservatism, and technocracy, arguing that they inherently involve coercive interference with property rights and voluntary interactions. The book also delves into the moral underpinnings of capitalist systems and presents a case for their ethical superiority over socialist alternatives.
