Leading the Revival of Individualism & Self Reliance
CFI Collections

The ideas of individualism are wide-ranging, from natural law to private property to spontaneous order and beyond. They have motivated great movements such as the American Revolution and the Austrian School Of Economics. Individualism concerns the real, present, acting individual as opposed to grand collective catchwords.

Explore Our Collections of Individualist Ideas

We have collected individualism-themed content, such as our 6-part series on F.A. Hayek’s The Mirage of Social Justice, and an extended commentary on the same author’s The Road To Serfdom. Our Poetic Justice Warriors collection devotes attention to individuals in history who persevered and succeeded in the face of adversarial collective opinion or conventional wisdom. We also present collections from aligned external sources.

New Perspectives on The Road to Serfdom

There can be no denying the important role that F.A. Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom has played on the study of free-market economics. And while the book is responsible for swaying public opinion and presenting an alternative to centrally planned economies, the book was written in such a way that may be hard for many modern readers to comprehend.

The Mirage of Social Justice

The term "social Justice" is a dishonest insinuation that one ought to agree to a demand of some special interest which can give no real reason for it.  It's the mark of demagogy or cheap journalism which responsible thinkers ought to be ashamed to use.
