Perplexing

One of the most difficult tasks for a reader of Stirner's The Unique and Its Property is to nail down his economic theory or proposal.

He clearly is a revolutionary, although an insurrectionist (non-violent and refusing to participate in a coordinated and mass uprising0. He denounces the Communists and socialists as making people complete wards of the state, Humans that end up propertyless. Without personal property, owness is lost, and the self is self-alienated and is possessed by a ideational fixation with statism.

He also denounces the bourgeois liberals of his day for their hogging all the money, for their half-baked, involuntary egoism, for their love of competition in the marketplace, while still submitting to state control, in exchange for its protection against workers rising up and taking over everything.

I believe that his love of and advocacy of egoism and radically subjective egocentrism entail that he is for some brand of free market economics, under which the individual competes against all other individuals, whether as a consumer, business person, or laborer. Each person seeks to expand and enrich his property holdings by not sellling his goods, services, or labor below what they are worth, and one's right to a share of the economy is that amount that one has the competence, might and capacity to take ahold of and hold onto.
