[1]Liberty and Power have added two more libertarian intellectuals to its All-Star line up. This time it is the duo of Walter Grinder and John Hagel III. Walter and I go back to the Center for Libertarian Studies in New York City in the 1970s, of which he was the Executive Director, and he went on to virtually invent the IHS summer seminar program in which I taught for over 10 years. Walter now runs the [2]Institute for Civil Society. John Hagel and I were classmates and co-conspirators in law school and it was John who introduced me to the New York circle of libertarians, such as Murray Rothbard, Leonard Liggio, Roy Childs, Ralph Raico, Ronald Hamowy, Walter Block, Bill Evers and many more. He and I also organized a conference on criminal justice theory at Harvard Law School when we were 3Ls which resulted in the (long out-of-print) book we co-edited entitled, [3]Assessing the Criminal: Restitution, Retribution, and the Legal System (1977). John went on to an extremely successful career as a business consultant, primarily in the technology sector. He is the author of [4]Net Gain: Expanding Markets Through Virtual Communities, [5]Net Worth: Shaping Markets When Customers Make the Rules, and [6]Out of the Box: Strategies for Achieving Profits Today and Growth Tomorrow Through Web Services. Back in the 1970s, John and Walter co-authored work on libertarian social theory (discussed [7]here by Chris Matthew Sciabarra). I hope that they will use this forum to develop further their long-neglected ideas.
