This short essay is aimed at commemorating Antal Jászay, or Anthony de Jasay, who made his mark at the interface of political philosophy and public choice, and 2025 is the 100th anniversary of his birth. His relative obscurity is due both to his avoidance of the institutions of the academic world and to the ‘conservative anarchist’ conclusions of his philosophy. However, Jasay is a classic in public choice literature who should not be forgotten – which, of course, would require getting to know him first. JEL codes: D70, B25
