A revised, updated, and retitled edition of David Boaz’s
classic book Libertarianism: A Primer, which was praised as
uniting “history, philosophy, economics and law—spiced with
just the right anecdotes—to bring alive a vital tradition of
American political thought that deserves to be honored
today” (Richard A. Epstein, University of Chicago). Libertarianism—the philosophy of personal and economic
freedom—has deep roots in Western civilization and in
American history, and it’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 movement—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.
