An Economic Analysis of Suicide - Matthew J. Geiger [Affiliate Link in Description]

Available on Amazon

In An Economic Analysis of Suicide, Matthew Geiger presents a provocative theory that the existence of the State is the primary factor contributing to suicidality in modern society. Grounded in the view of man as a spiritual being with subjective values, Geiger uses economic theory to explore how state interventions distort both individual lives and the broader economic system, often leading to devastating consequences.

Geiger argues that government actions—such as the destruction of sound monetary systems, the creation of inflation and economic crises, the imposition of state-run education, militarization, and responses to global pandemics—contribute to an environment that undermines human well-being. By distorting natural incentives and disrupting free markets, these interventions create stressors that can push individuals toward despair and, tragically, suicide.

Through a combination of theory and real-world analysis, Geiger challenges readers to reconsider the role of the State in exacerbating human suffering, offering a fresh and deeply philosophical perspective on the issue of suicidality. This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of economics, philosophy, and the human condition.

Key Themes:

• How State interventions distort economies and contribute to suicidality
• The impact of inflation, government schooling, and militarization on human well-being
• A spiritual and economic exploration of subjective values in society
• The relationship between economic crises, government actions, and individual despair

For economists, philosophers, and anyone concerned with the well-being of society, An Economic Analysis of Suicide offers a compelling argument that reevaluates the destructive consequences of State power.
