This booklet springs directly from the Stirner-revival happening in the late 60’s and into the early 70’s. When it was first published in English, Benjamin Tucker called The Ego and His Own both the “Anarchists’ Bible” and the “Billionaire’s Bible”:

Since that time the book has mostly been known as a sort of Bible for Individualist Anarchists and Egoists, two groups with heavy overlap. The Occult Technology of Power pulls Stiner from the grips of poor radicals and puts it into the hands of a cabal of the super powerful.

Not only is fraudulent bluff and bluster used to achieve dominance but fraudulent altruism and collective institutions are used to conceal dominance once achieved. Human hierarchies, in contrast to the animal variety, are best sustained when the members are deluded regarding the oppressive nature, or better, even the very existence of the hierarchy! –OTP

And if the reader was somehow skeptical of the tie in to Egoism, I offer a second quote that could have been pulled from any Stirner meme-laden shitposting:

However, in the current era, while minds are yet in the thrall of altruistic collectivistic, and divine moralistic spooks, the egoist’s rational course is to utilize such spooks to control others.  –OTP

Though flawed bootleg text files are all over the internet, this new edition is by and far the best designed and now has an appendix with two revelatory texts.

“EGOISTS SHOULD READ” judged the Egoist journal The Eagle and The Serpent (1898) in the promotion of For Love and Money by Leighton Pagan.  Underworld Amusements has now printed this rare tract for the second installment of the Stand Alone (2016) journal, in a limited edition with a new introduction by Trevor Blake and end notes! Unavailable anywhere online, and certainly the only new edition since it was originally published by Wilson and Macmillan of London in 1898.

Leighton Pagan was the pseudonym of John Badcock Jr., more widely known for his work Slaves to Duty and contributions to Benjamin Tucker’s Liberty (1881) journal. Pagan was a public speaker and author with an egoist perspective on sex and relations. The topics he addressed and the groups he spoke to show a singular dedication to the individual’s wants (and wantonness) as supreme over society.

For Love and Money is a pamphlet collecting two published speeches by this strident individualist.

A review in the contemporary British journal The Adult said:

“Any who draw their portraits of free lovers from Artemus Ward’s delightful absurdities will regard the distinction of a free lover with a sense of humour as sufficiently unique, but in adding to this gift of writing wittily and luminously on the currency question, Mr. Pagan attains to the miraculous.”

We see there a now wholly obscure reference to Abraham Lincoln’s favorite author (real name Charles F. Browne), who published a story Artemus Ward Among the Free Lovers in 1858.

The two sections of For Love and Money were advertised as follows:

1.— The Judgment of Paris—up to date, a lecture given before the Legitimation League, dealing in the most unconventional way with the vital questions of marriage and free love.
2.—The Money Famine, a reprint of an interesting article on the money question from the Free Review.

You can currently purchase Stand Alone Number 2 in the US through Underworld Amusements. Follow @DerGeistJournal for updates on this and more.

Also of interest is this contemporary advertisement for books offered for sale alongside For Love and Money. This advert was pulled from the June 1898 issue of “The University Magazine and Free Review”.
