He also serves as a senior scholar for the Ludwig von Mises Institute, an editor of the Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, director and president of the Molinari Institute, and a Senior Fellow[2] at the Center for a Stateless Society.[3]
Education and career
Long received a B.A. in philosophy from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. He edited the book Anarchism/Minarchism: Is a Government Part of a Free Country?. Long was an editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies.
Philosophy
According to Long, he specializes in "Greek philosophy; moral psychology; ethics; philosophy of social science; and political philosophy (with an emphasis on libertarian/anarchist theory)."[4] Long supports what he calls "libertarian anarchy,"[5] but avoids describing this as "capitalism", a term he believes has inconsistent and confusing meanings.[6]
He is an advocate of
"build[ing] worker solidarity. On the one hand, this means formal organization, including unionization—but I'm not talking about the prevailing model of 'business unions' ... but real unions, the old-fashioned kind, committed to the working class and not just union members, and interested in worker autonomy, not government patronage."[7]
Long identifies as a peace activist and points out that a "consistent peace activist must be an anarchist."[8] He describes market anarchism as "a peaceful, consensual alternative" to society with a state.[9] Long has identified himself as a bleeding-heart libertarian and has contributed to the Bleeding Heart Libertarians weblog.[10]
