Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Anti-statism is a term describing opposition to state intervention into personal, social and economic affairs. Anti-statist views may reject the state completely as well as rulership in general (e.g. anarchism), they may wish to reduce the size and scope of the state to a minimum (e.g. minarchism), or they may advocate a stateless society as a distant goal (e.g. autonomism). Henry David Thoreau expressed this evolutionary anti-statist view in his essay Civil Disobedience: I heartily accept the motto, -That government is best which governs least; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, -That government is best which governs not at all; and when men and women are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
