Carl Watner

Carl Watner (b. 1948–) is an American author and historian of libertarian studies, and a voluntaryist. He has written articles for "Reason" magazine, "The Libertarian Forum", and "The Journal of Libertarian Studies".

He publishes and edited "The Voluntaryist" newsletter since 1982, which promotes libertarian economics, abstention from voting, nonviolence, and abolition of the state through conscious non-cooperation. The libertarian philosophy of the late Robert LeFevre, of whom he was a student, was influential in Watner's intellectual development. In addition to writing articles for the "The Voluntaryist", Watner researches and writes about historical libertarian texts. Murray Rothbard credited Watner for "uncovering an unknown work by the great Lysander Spooner, one that managed to escape the editor of Spooner's "Collected Works" entitled "Vices are not Crimes." [Murray Rotbhard, Introduction to "Vices are Not Crimes: A Vindication of Moral Liberty" by Lysander Spooner (Cupertino, CA: Tanstaafl, 1977; published first in 1875]
