From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Hermann Hoppe is a German-born American Austrian School economist and libertarian anarcho-capitalist philosopher, who is also associated with the alt-right. He is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and the founder and president of the Property and Freedom Society.

Hoppe identifies as a culturally conservative libertarian. His remarks on the rights of property owners to establish private covenant communities, from which homosexuals and political dissidents may be "physically removed", has provoked controversy among both the libertarian community and Hoppe's colleagues at Lee Business School. Hoppe also garners controversy due to his support for restrictive limits on immigration, particularly of non-whites, which critics argue is at odds with libertarianism and anarchism.
