Karl Hess (born Carl Hess III; 1923-1994) was a speechwriter and author. He was also a political philosopher, editor, welder, motorcycle racer, tax resister and libertarian activist. His career included stints on the Republican right and the New Left before embracing a mix of left-libertarianism and laissez-faire anarcho-capitalism, a term which is attested earliest in his 1969 essay "The Death of Politics". Later in life, he summed up his role in the economy by remarking "I am by occupation a free marketer (crafts and ideas, woodworking, welding, and writing)."
