The Libertarian Reader: Classic and Contemporary Writings from Lao Tzu to Milton Friedman

The first collection of seminal writings on a movement that is rapidly changing the face of American politics, The Libertarian Reader links some of the most fertile minds of our time to a centuries-old commitment to freedom, self-determination, and opposition to intrusive government. From John Locke and Thomas Jefferson to Mary Wollstonecraft, H. L. Mencken, and Ayn Rand, David Boaz has gathered writings that represent the building blocks of libertarianism in a unique sourcebook that will stand as a classic reference for years to come.
