Libertarianism isn't about winning elections; it is first and foremost a political philosophy-a description of how, in the opinion of libertarians, free people ought to treat one another, at least when they use the law, which they regard as potentially dangerous. If libertarians are correct, the law should intrude into people's lives as little as possible, rarely telling them what to do or how to live.A political and economic philosophy as old as...

From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot...

Herbert Spencer was an incredible prophet and a magnificent defender of laissez-faire. Among his numerous works is
The Man Versus The State, first published in 1884. That book launched one of the most spirited attacks on statism ever written. He ridiculed the idea that government intervention of any kind "will work as it is intended to work, which it never does." He drew on his tremendous knowledge of history, citing one dramatic case after another...

Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers?--Publisher.

There is a well-worn image and phrase for libertarianism: "atomized individualism." This hobgoblin has spread so thoroughly that even some libertarians think their philosophy unreservedly supports private persons, whatever the situation, whatever their behavior. Smith's Self-Interest and Social Order in Classical Liberalism, corrects this misrepresentation with careful intellectual surveys of Hume, Smith, Hobbes, Butler, Mandeville, and Hutcheson...

This book clarifies one's thinking by defining generally accepted definitions for liberal, libertarian, and conservative. This establishes a linear scale. In order to do so, the author went to experts in each area and used their definitions. He found that some definitions have changed with time. Specifically, a Liberal in the 18th century is what we would call a Libertarian in the 20th and 21st century. The socialist of the 19th century is what is...

This anthology provides a timely critical overview of the American conservative movement. The contributors take on subjects that other commentators have either not noticed or have been fearful to discuss. In particular, this collection of searing essays hits hard at blatant cult of celebrity and intolerance of dissent that has come to characterize the conservative movement in this country.
As The Vanishing Tradition shows, the conservative movement...

What Is Conservatism? (1964) is a conservative classic-as relevant today as it was half a century ago. Just what is conservatism? Many people are groping for answers, especially as conservatives seem to be retreating into factions-Tea Partiers, traditionalists, libertarians, social conservatives, neoconservatives, and so on. But this illuminating book shows what unites conservatives even as it explores conservatism's rich internal debate. Edited...

Imagine a capitalist paradise. An island utopia governed
solely by the rules of the market and inspired by the fictions
of Ayn Rand and Robinson Crusoe. Sound far-fetched? It may not
be. The past half century is littered with the remains of such
experiments in what Raymond Craib calls
"libertarian exit." Often dismissed as little more than the
dreams of crazy, rich Caucasians, exit strategies have been
tried out from the southwest Pacific to the Caribbean,...

We're all in favor of free speech - except when we're not! Often it's a case of 'free speech for me, but not for thee'. The regulation of speech is a matter that is typically dealt with arbitrarily without there being any obvious principled basis for the decisions that are made. Is hate speech, so-called, a form of free speech? What of blasphemy, in either its ancient or contemporary forms? Should certain forms of speech be mandatory?
As with free...

Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road, turned that plan into reality. Public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws didn't disappear, but they got quieter: meek suggestions...
