Albert Jay Nock  

Definition

  • Albert Jay Nock was one of the most thoroughgoing critics of using “political means” to achieve social ends in the American literary tradition. Libertarians have embraced Nock's often virulent antistatism, but his possession of the traits he ascribed to Jefferson—“radical principles and ideals combined with Tory manners”—have made Nock's contributions broader and more far reaching. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Libertarianism; Nock, Albert Jay (1870–1945)]
