Here’s a (slightly comprehensive) list of the best libertarian fiction. Below you will find libertarian, agorist, anarcho-capitalist, and objectivist novels, short stories, children’s books, and graphic novels.

We’ve selected these specific libertarian stories because they are explicitly libertarian, meaning they explicitly identify and promote or defend at least one major tenant of political libertarianism (free markets, private property, individual rights etc.).

While many fictional works can read as implicitly libertarian (for instance, any anti-authoritarian narrative such as, say, The Hunger Games) we chose to be a little more selective in what we include here, in the hope that these works will be both more interesting and more instructive for those learning about, or already fans of, political libertarianism.

This list of pro-freedom stories is organized by type (novel, short story, graphic novel, YA, children’s), genre (like libertarian science fiction, based on popularity), and then alphabetical by author. Use the table of contents to find what interests you the most!

And if you’re looking for just the free stuff, we’ve also curated a list of the top free libertarian novels you can check out.
