Kevin Carson

American academic

Kevin Carson is an American political writer and blogger. While he originally identified as a mutualist,[1][2] he now describes himself as an anarchist without adjectives.[3] He works as a Senior Fellow and Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory at the Center for a Stateless Society.[4] Carson coined the pejorative term "vulgar libertarianism" to describe the use of free market rhetoric in defense of corporate capitalism and economic inequality.[5][2]
