Claude-Generated Themes:	Liberty, published by Benjamin R. Tucker from 1881 to 1908, first at Boston and later in New York, is the flagship journal of American individualist anarchism. Its arguments are political and economic: the abolition of rent and interest, mutual banking and free competition in currency, the sovereignty of the individual, and an egoist ethics drawn from Max Stirner, all directed as fiercely against state socialism as against capitalism. Around that core ran the freethought and free-love polemics of the circle in which Tucker moved, including the prosecutions of Ezra Heywood, together with Tucker's own work as a translator, which brought European fiction and radical philosophy to American readers. The journal carries no occult content, and it appears in this archive because the networks of nineteenth-century radical publishing — the same halls, the same subscribers, the same prosecutions for obscenity and blasphemy — connected freethinkers, free lovers, Spiritualists and reformers in ways their surviving papers still record.
