	Albert Jay Nock -- on Education
		Albert Jay Nock was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania to a respectable but poor family, which relocated a few years afterward to Brooklyn, New York.
		Nock wrote, "We were made to understand that the burden of education was on us and no one else, least of all our instructors; they were not there to help us carry it or to praise our efforts, but to see that we shouldered it in proper style and got on with it" (Crunden 9).
		Although Nock was often called a liberal, he rejected the label, preferring to call himself a 'radical.' To him, a liberal used the political means to improve and expand the State as a social institution.

	Mises Economics Blog: Today is Albert Jay Nock's Birthday
		Nock wrote in an era when progressives were in ascendance, and their collectivist vision was crowding out America’s tradition of liberty.
		Nock, whose approach has been described as "less anxious to please and more eager to get at the truth, whatever the cost to comforts and prejudices," was considered by some as the greatest stylist of his day.
		Albert Jay Nock explained his endorsement of liberty in his 1935 "On Doing the Right Thing," in H.L. Mencken’s American Mercury: "The practical reason for freedom, then is that freedom seems to be the only condition under which any kind of substantial moral fibre can be developed.

		Nock is capable of surprising readers who think they might be able to anticipate the biases of a traditionalist-anarchist.
		From Nock's point of view, the Great Depression and the two world wars saddled America with a new faith in the State, and along with it came a shift in people's loyalties, from themselves, their families, and communities to the Grand National Project, whatever it may be.
		Nock would also be dissident on the Right today concerning the freedom of association, which he saw as the very essence of freedom itself.

		Michael Wreszin, author of The Superfluous Anarchist: Albert Jay Nock, called popular education “the watchword of the progressive era” because “no other field of reform promised such grand possibilities.” The public school system was viewed as an invaluable means to reconstruct society by molding the generations to come.

	A stroll with Albert Jay Nock Modern Age - Find Articles
		ALBERT JAY NOCK (1870-1945) was never a household name even in his own lifetime but his memory has been kept green in the half century since his death.
		Nock knew very well that he was rowing against the tide and that his words would have no immediate effect on the course of human events, but since his devotion was to the truth, he worried not at all about being out of step with his times.
		The great critics, said Nock, help "the truth along without encumbering it with themselves." So much social criticism must be taken in small doses or one will come away depressed and generally in a mood to chuck it all.

		Albert Jay Nock, Forgotten Man of the Right by Jeffrey A. Tucker
		For an earlier generation of American dissidents from the prevailing ideology of left-liberalism, a rite of passage was reading Albert Jay Nock's Memoirs of a Superfluous Man, which appeared in 1943.
		Nock's book was quickly buried with the rise of the Cold War State, which required that conservatives reject anything like radical individualism – even of Nock's aristocratic sort – and instead embrace the Wilson-FDR values of nationalism and militarism.

		Nock was without a doubt one of the most learned and eloquent spokesmen for individual liberty who ever lived.
		Here he stands foursquare in the tradition of the earlier French classical-liberal class analysts Comte and Dunoyer, who originated the view that the State is the source of the classes that later came to be called taxpayers and tax-eaters.
		Nock's Our Enemy, the State is a great and seminal work, in which Nock, in his justly renowned style, introduces the vital libertarian concepts of "State power" and "Social power," an applies them to American history.

	Albert Jay Nock Challenge
		Nock's works pose a formidable challenge to modern readers because, obviously, they were not among his intended audience.
		His prose bursts with what were contemporary references when he was alive fifty, sixty, and even one hundred years ago.
		Keep in mind, Nock would usually keep such a gloss to himself or otherwise keep it buried in the subtext.
