Education and career

Long received a B.A. in philosophy from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. He has edited the book Anarchism/Minarchism: Is a Government Part of a Free Country?. His work has been debated by Robert Bidinotto[1] and cited by Gene Callahan.[2] Long served as the editor of the Journal of Libertarian Studies and was a member of the Liberty and Power group blog.

Philosophy

According to Long, he specializes in "Greek philosophy; moral psychology; ethics; philosophy of social science; and political philosophy (with an emphasis on libertarian/anarchist theory)."[3] Long supports what he calls "libertarian anarchy",[4] but avoids describing this as "capitalism", a term he believes has inconsistent and confusing meanings.[5] He is an advocate of “build[ing] worker solidarity. On the one hand, this means formal organisation, including unionization—but I’m not talking about the prevailing model of ‘business unions' . . . but real unions, the old-fashioned kind, committed to the working class and not just union members, and interested in worker autonomy, not government patronage.”[6]
