Mutual Exchange Radio

The Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS.org) is an anarchist think-tank and media center. Its mission is to explain and defend the idea of vibrant social cooperation without aggression, oppression, or centralized authority.

In particular, it seeks to enlarge public understanding and transform public perceptions of anarchism, while reshaping academic and movement debate, through the production and distribution of market anarchist media content, both scholarly and popular.

It is also the home of Mutual Exchange Radio, a new podcast on anarchist thought, hosted by Zachary Woodman. The show brings together a wide variety of guests, from academics, to on-the-ground activists, to Center scholars, to entrepreneurs to discuss the latest developments in the philosophy and practice of market anarchism.

Jason Lee Byas on Justice Beyond the State

May 16, 2026

The guest today is Jason Lee Byas. Byas is currently a Junior Faculty Fellow at the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets & Ethics, and starting this fall will be Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Political Economy at Tulane University, with a coappointment at the Murphy Institute. His research focuses on criminal punishment, reparations, and other forms of responding to wrongdoing, along with (as is our focus here) ways of thinking about justice beyond the state. Our conversation today focuses on some recent work Jason has done on the role of expressive values in criticisms of libertarianism, as well as an anarchistic conception of justice that avoids many of the problems conceptions of the connection between justice and agency common in analytic political philosophy have.
