Kevin Carson is an American political writer and blogger who has identified at various times as a mutualist, individualist anarchist, left-wing market anarchist and anarchist without adjectives.[1][2][3]: 28  He works as a Senior Fellow and Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory at the Center for a Stateless Society.[4] Carson's Studies in Mutualist Political Economy aims to revive interest in mutualism in an effort to synthesize Austrian School economics with the labor theory of value by attempting to incorporate both subjectivism and time preference.[5] Carson coined the pejorative term "vulgar libertarianism" to describe the use of free market rhetoric in defense of corporate capitalism and economic inequality.[6]
