The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom

The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom

A revised, updated, and retitled edition of David Boazâ€™s classic book Libertarianism: A Primer, which was praised as uniting â€œhistory, philosophy, economics and lawâ€”spiced with just the right anecdotesâ€”to bring alive a vital tradition of American political thought that deserves to be honored todayâ€ (Richard A. Epstein, University of Chicago).

Libertarianismâ€”the philosophy of personal and economic freedomâ€”has deep roots in Western civilization and in American history, and itâ€™s growing stronger. Two long wars, chronic deficits, the financial crisis, the costly drug war, the campaigns of Ron Paul and Rand Paul, the growth of executive power under Presidents Bush and Obama, and the revelations about NSA abuses have pushed millions more Americans in a libertarian direction. Libertarianism: A Primer, by David Boaz, the longtime executive vice president of the Cato Institute, continues to be the best available guide to the history, ideas, and growth of this increasingly important political movementâ€”and now it has been updated throughout and with a new title: The Libertarian Mind.

Boaz has updated the book with new information on the threat of government surveillance; the policies that led up to and stemmed from the 2008 financial crisis; corruption in Washington; and the unsustainable welfare state. The Libertarian Mind is the ultimate resource for the current, burgeoning libertarian movement.
