Recently Stephan published an exciting document, The Universal Principles of Liberty.
Stephan provides some background that led to the Principles, historical context, use cases, and so much more. As always, Stephan demonstrates why he is a true human White Pill.
He even challenged me to White Pill him, on my reasoning behind why true free societies may be coming sooner than we think.
Some of his key publications:
International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution (Oxford, 2020)
Against Intellectual Property (Mises Institute, 2001)
Legal Foundations of a Free Society (Papinian Press, 2023)
