Kevin Carson is an American social theorist and mutualist known for his left-libertarianism.[1]:28 He is a Senior Fellow and Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory at the Center for a Stateless Society.[2] Carson's Studies in Mutualist Political Economy aims to revive interest in mutualism, in an effort to synthesize Austrian economics with the labor theory of value by attempting to incorporate both subjectivism and time preference.[3] His work has been addressed by anarcho-capitalist economist Walter Block,[4] Graduate Lecturer and PhD student Tate Fegley,[5] and Carson's Center for a Stateless Society colleague, the philosopher Roderick T. Long.[6]
