Abstract: Abstract Mercer is a system-builder. Distilled, the Mercer modus operandi has been to methodically apply first principles to the day’s events with verve, vim, and muscular style, so that what was penned 23 years back, in her paleolibertarian weekly column, is true today and will be true years hence. The result: a systematic account of paleolibertarianism. The warp and woof—the very structure of the thing—is revealed. To wit, libertarianism’s axle is the nonaggression axiom. Ordered liberty, however, has a civilizational dimension, stripped of which the axiom by which we all must live cannot endure. A wickedly funny English wordsmith, a warrior against war, the state, statism, and against cultural, ethical, and intellectual degeneracy—Mercer deploys the art of deductive argument, praxeology, to decapitate, on paper and in pixels, liberty’s enemies.
