Voluntary Socialism is a work of nonfiction by the American mutualist Francis Dashwood Tandy (1867–1913). First published in 1896, it was favorably cited by many individualist anarchists, including Clarence Lee Swartz,[1] minarchist Robert Nozick[2] and left-libertarian Roderick T. Long, who said "many of the standard moves in market anarchist theory today are already in evidence in Tandy".[3]

Tandy was a member of the "Denver Circle", a group associated with Benjamin Tucker who contributed to the periodical Liberty.[4]
