In the business times of yesteryear, many did not believe that empathy and understanding mixed well with sound business decisions. However, with the more recent breed of entrepreneurs, many have increasingly recognized that successful and long-lasting relationships depend on using both empathy and understanding to build a solid foundation.

The master of negotiation and Celebrity Experts(R) in this book, Chris Voss and Daniel Brackins, remind us that entrepreneurs want lasting relationships that build trust and clientele. They question if anyone associates empathy with enterprise and entrepreneurism, and states that the qualities of trust and lasting relationships come out of understanding and respect for each other. In short, as stated by Brené Brown, "Empathy fuels connection." Show less

The solution to the problems of the previous world order, with tyrannical rulers and despotic states, was the establishment of a decentralized, confederate republic ordered on the principles of inalienable individual rights and self-determination, constitutionally limited government and wide separation of powers, both vertically and horizontally. Democracy was to be used merely for administrative purposes within a larger framework of severely limited governmental power or within extremely decentralized local communities. This system, which found its purest expression in the American Revolution, and in the modern example of Liechtenstein, is the diametrical opposite of the authoritarian, centralized, bureaucratic, unconstrained, special interest, state-corporate, welfare-warfare mass democratic states of the modern era. Modern states are not an outgrowth of, but a specific repudiation and overthrow of the classical liberal ideal to which we must return. By returning to ideas rooted in the classical concept of liberalism we are able to develop a model that appeals to the various values of all members in society, while still maintaining a moral framework that promotes prosperity and freedom.

Private Property, Law, and the State provides a concise and rigorous presentation of property rights theory and its application in a stateless society. Moreover, a complete and universal ethical framework based on private property is developed. A wide range of topics are covered including: democracy, justice, immigration, the environment, national defense, intellectual property, education, and others. Brackins begins by providing an ethical foundation for leading a moral life and then deconstructs a multitude of statist arguments with uncompromising logic. Even longstanding political theories such as democracy and minarchism are no longer safe from examination. The author is not content with the mere dissolution of these long-held beliefs, but also offers practical solutions on what steps society can take to replace them. Show less
