George H. Smith published “A Killer’s Right to Life” in Liberty magazine in

1996, making various arguments and claims about inalienability. I responded in

the Journal of Libertarian Studies, in a piece which complements and supplements

my previous articles on the inalienability and punishment issues, now

chapters 5 and 9 in the present volume. Despite my disagreements with Smith

on this issue, I respect and have learned from his work, such as his great essay

“Justice Entrepreneurship in a Free Market.”
