Auberon Edward William Molyneux Herbert was an English writer, theorist, individualist philosopher, and politician. A son of the 3rd Earl of Carnarvon, he was a Liberal Member of Parliament for the two-member constituency of Nottingham from 1870 to 1874. He promoted a classical liberal philosophy and took the ideas of Herbert Spencer a stage further by advocating voluntary-funded government that uses force only in defence of individual liberty and private property. He is known as the originator of voluntaryism.
