Hoppe publishes "Democracy: The God That Failed"

Hans-Hermann Hoppe, an Austrian-school economist and paleolibertarian, published "Democracy: The God That Failed" with Transaction Publishers. The book argues democracy systematically erodes property rights compared with monarchy and natural order, and calls for secession and small "covenant communities" with strict exclusion rights. Curtis Yarvin later cited Hoppe as a direct influence on his anti-democratic project.
