For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto

LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com.

A classic that for over two decades has been hailed as the best general work on libertarianism available. Rothbard begins with a quick overview of its historical roots, and then goes on to define libertarianism as resting “upon one single axiom: that no man or group of men shall aggress upon the person or property of anyone else.” He writes a withering critique of the chief violator of liberty: the State. Rothbard then provides penetrating libertarian solutions for many of today’s most pressing problems, including poverty, war, threats to civil liberties, the education crisis, and more.

  3. A Comprehensive Primer on the Science of Liberty Murray Rothbard’s “For a New Liberty” is an outstanding general text on libertarianism. It first explains the libertarian creed, then proceeds to show how libertarianism can be applied to the current problems facing America. Although the book was originally published in 1973, the problems of 1973 are all still the problems of 2013. This really isn’t surprising, because the Statism that was causing these problems forty years ago is the same Statism that continues to perpetuate (and worsen) them…
