Andrew Joseph Galambos (born Ifj.
Galambos József András; June 28, 1924 in Hungary – April 10, 1997 in Orange County, California) was an astrophysicist and philosopher who innovated a social structure that seeks to maximize human peace and freedom.
While Galambos had much in common with his classical liberal contemporaries, his most unusual contributions concerned his theories on intellectual property, and his advocacy of a stateless society totally free of coercion, political or otherwise.
He also is noteworthy for his integration of a wide variety of scientific, economic, and historical inputs in the creation of his ideal social structure, which he termed The Natural Republic.
Galambos distinguished his theory from that of Ludwig von Mises, subscribing to the same "subjective theory of value" in economics but deriving it from his own definition of property.The libertarian author and 1996 presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, Harry Browne wrote of Andrew Galambos after his death: "He was an Astrophysicist exclusively, but I refer to him as 'the unknown libertarian' because he never wrote a book or appeared on national radio or TV.
His renown will be limited mostly to those who came in personal contact with him.
But he had a profound effect on thousands of individuals who took his courses—who in turn affected others.
Undoubtedly the ripples from the stones he dropped eventually touched some of today's leading libertarians."
