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...

Nuestra comprensión acerca del significado de la libertad de expresión y las responsabilidades estatales necesarias para asegurar su goce varía en función de la teoría que justifique y sustente esa libertad.

John Stuart Mill's resolute dedication to the cause of freedom inspired this 1859 treatise. Discussed and debated from time immemorial, the concept of personal liberty went without codification until the publication of this enduring work which applies an ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state which to this day remains well known and studied.
Mills (1806-1873), a British economist, philosopher, and ethical theorist whose argument...

Durante los últimos años, las limitaciones de la izquierda progresista en el ejercicio del poder contribuyeron a fortalecer el espectro político de la derecha en diversos países. El libertarianismo de derecha y el liberalismo económico resurgieron con algunos cambios. Sin embargo, sus ideas económicas son las mismas que perjudicaron a la mayoría de las personas y contaminaron el planeta en los últimos cuarenta años.
El fracaso de la derecha...

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...

With the contentious 2016 U.S. presidential election cycle spinning into its final phases, only one thing seems clear: the American people are less than satisfied with the two major political parties' candidates. Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party candidate for president and former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico, stakes his claim to the very center of the political spectrum. His new e-pamphlet Common Sense for the Common Good offers his approach...

If everything has its cause and creator, then what caused and created God? Perhaps God is the only thing that lacks a cause, which is why He is God in the first place-or at least that is what R. W. Mecklenburg thoughtfully proposes in The Deist, his short but sweet deconstruction of God, reason, happiness, and liberty.
God, Mecklenburg says, is the only thing that has always existed without creation. The only immutable thing without change. Absolute...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

A "well-researched, bitingly written account" of the massive failure of the war on drugs (Publishers Weekly).
The war against drugs was supposed to make America better, right? It failed. Not only does the drug war fail to keep Americans from using drugs, but its crackdown tactics also produce bigger problems than it promises to solve. In this fearlessly audacious book, Joel Miller shows that drug prohibition creates tremendous amounts of crime...

Al poco de morir, en pleno franquismo, el nombre de Romanones desapareció. Ya sabemos cómo es la historia: cada tiempo pone a unos personajes de moda y baja a otros a las mazmorras.
Romanones, el «Maquiavelo de la Alcarria», tonteó con ideas federalistas pero acabó monárquico hasta el tuétano. Fue un liberal que paseó por todas las facciones del liberalismo y un aristócrata que defendió los privilegios de los Grandes de España. Fue...

Frank Cocozzelli is a progressive liberal who got tired of being called a Marxist. So he did some research, and guess what he found? Movement libertarian conservatism is the actual threat to capitalism and democracy. He eventually turned his findings into a book - this book - that not only refutes that old-time redbaiting but also seeks to help jump-start the journey to a better world. He says,
"...it is neither socialism nor communism that libertarian...

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...
