A book of 41 essays for Hans-Hermann Hoppe's 75th birthday, edited by Jörg Guido Hülsmann and Stephan Kinsella and presented at the 2024 Property and Freedom Society meeting in Bodrum. It follows the 2009 festschrift Property, Freedom, and Society, also in this archive.

The first part is personal: tributes from Hoppe's wife and children, Lew Rockwell, and friends from the PFS. The rest is scholarship on Hoppe's ideas and on topics he shaped, including argumentation ethics, time preference and democracy, immigration, private security, and law. Contributors include Sean Gabb, Mark Thornton, Thorsten Polleit, Rahim Taghizadegan, Jeff Deist, David Howden, Doug French, Frank van Dun, Philipp Bagus, Thomas DiLorenzo, and Kinsella's own chapter on defamation as a type of intellectual property.
