Talk:Anders Chydenius

message: The article uses modern concepts like anarcho-capitalism, night watchman state, and globalisation in context of a 18th century thinker. What are the scholarly works that discuss similarities between Chydenius's classical liberalism and anarchocapitalism, supporting the historical revisionism in the article? Or is this alleged similarity of ideas speculation/original research by some Wikipedia author? jni 07:56, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Chydenius proposed that the crown would not interfere in Lapland in any other way than providing a judge. Lapland was then very poor, and he thought that in freedom it would prosper. Of course, it may be that he wanted to turn the whole Sweden a nightwatchman state but knew that it would be politically unacceptable, whereas he could use the poorness of Lapland as an excuse, which would then make Lapland a good example for the other parts of the country. Since we can never know this, the only fact is what he proposed and the open motives he gave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmisa (talk • contribs) 10:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical revisionism?

message: He represented Ostrobothnia in the Swedish Estates and successfully pushed for free trade and abolition of town priviledges. But if I remember correctly, Chydenius lost personal support due to very radical ideas outside the sphere of trade politics regarding human rights, freedom of speech, etc. To name Chydenius an anarchist or capitalist is however straight forward possible. Many modern ideologies can trace their origins in Chydenius original ideas and none of them can claim him as their own.
Chydenius was certainly not anarchist.
Chydenius was economically and socially liberal during the 18th century which admired classical absolut order in both economics and social life. This combined with his activity in politics led him to confrontation with the established society in wide variety of fields. This is not a sign of anarchism, but merely resebles the relationship anarchist has with any form of society, liberal as well as coservative.

:It is possible that Chydenius was a minarchist (not anarchist/anarcho-capitalist), at least very close (hence "economically and socially liberal"), but he seemed to be motivated by the good of the poor much more than the other politicians of his time. Then almost any regulation was against the poor and freedom would have been good for the poor. Of course, in the long run the same may or may not be true today but it is not as obvius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmisa (talk • contribs) 10:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: What is the source for Chydenius starting with a [k]? I know that ch is supposed to be pronounced as [k] in Latin names and Chydenius is Latinized from Kytämäki, but today all instances of it I could find uses the kj-sound of Swedish, i.e. [tɕ] in Finland Swedish and in Finnish or [ɕ] in Sweden Swedish. Finns with this surname pronounce it with the kj-sound, e.g. in this video. I am therefore changing the pronunciation in the article. --Iceager (talk) 03:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
