The Problem of Political Authority: An Examination of the Right to Coerce and the Duty to Obey is a book by University of Colorado philosophy professor Michael Huemer, published in January 2013.

[1][2] In April 2011, while he was still writing the book (then titled Freedom and Authority), Huemer was profiled by the Arts and Sciences Magazine of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

[4] Ole Martin Moen of the University of Oslo, Norway, reviewed the book in Philosophical Quarterly.

This is a pity, for even if one rejects his conclusions, Huemer makes it clear that anarchism is a sophisticated theory that deserves careful consideration.

"[5] The book has also been reviewed in Ethics by George Klosko,[6] Mind by Daniel Viehoff,[7] and Le Québécois Libre by Bradley Doucet.
