From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kevin Carson is an American political writer and blogger. While he originally identified as a mutualist, [1] [2] he now describes himself as an anarchist without adjectives. [3] He works as a Senior Fellow and Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory at the Center for a Stateless Society. [4] Carson coined the pejorative term "vulgar libertarianism" to describe the use of free market rhetoric in defense of corporate capitalism and economic inequality. [5] [2]
