News Releases
STUDY: The Market, Not Government, Is The Worker’s Friend
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 30 – In the Center for a Stateless Society’s latest study, “Labor Struggle: A Free Market Model,” C4SS Research Associate Kevin Carson examines the role of state labor regulation in halting the progress of unionism and explores the real source of pre-Wagner Act gains for labor: Direct action and worker solidarity in the face of combined state and corporate power.
Study: “Progressive” is the new “Reactionary”
A new study from the Center for a Stateless Society makes the case for progressives as the bitter-enders of a social project made obsolete by liberating technologies and the production and distribution methods those technologies make possible.

Studies
Labor Struggle: A Free Market Model
In his tenth research study for C4SS, Kevin Carson explains that the state’s labor regulations, far from promoting workers’ bargaining rights, have hindered them. Carson then points the way toward a future of labor radicalism aligned with free market anarchism.
Thermidor of the Progressives
C4SS Research Associate Kevin Carson’s latest research study is now available. Download Thermidor of the Progressives: Managerialist Liberalism’s Hostility to Decentralized Organization[PDF].
The Healthcare Crisis: A Crisis of Artificial Scarcity
C4SS Research Associate Kevin Carson’s eighth paper — The Healthcare Crisis: A Crisis of Artificial Scarcity. [PDF]
