Joshua King Ingalls (July 16, 1816 – Mar 3, 1899) was an American inventor, Christian minister,[1] writer and land reformer who influenced contemporary individualist anarchists, despite never self-identifying as one.[2][3]
Ingalis was born in Swansea, Massachusetts on July 16, 1816.[4] He married Amanda Gray (1819–1879) on October 29, 1837; they had four children.[5]
Ingalls was an associate of Benjamin Tucker and the Boston anarchists. He believed that government protection of idle land was the foundational source of all limitations on individual liberty. This was in disagreement with Tucker who, while also opposing protection of idle land, believed that government protection of the "banking monopoly" was the greatest evil. Like the individualist anarchists of the United States, Ingalls believed in a form of free-market socialism where "Every man will be rewarded according to his work" and each person was to receive the "...whole product of his labor."[1] And even denounced capitalism in his critique of land monopoly.[6] Ingalls first learned of the mutualism of Proudhon through Charles A. Dana's articles titled "European Socialism".[1] His three main influences were Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Josiah Warren, and Stephen Pearl Andrews.[1]
