Counter-economics is a term originally used by Samuel Edward Konkin III and J. Neil Schulman, libertarian activists and theorists. Konkin defined it as "the study or practice of all peaceful human action which is forbidden by the State." The term is short for "counter-establishment economics" and may also be referred to as counter politics. Counter-economics was integrated by Schulman into Konkin's doctrine of agorism.
Voluntary practices of counter-economics include:
- Arms trafficking
- Bartering and alternative currency use
- Being or hiring illegal immigrants
- Drug trafficking
- Smuggling
- Subsistence farming
- Tax evasion
