| From Scientific American: And always, reading Rothbard is a mindstretching intellectual adventure. For not only is he a brilliant scholar; he never flinches at taking the libertarian creed to it logical conclusions, no matter how controversial those conclusions may sometimes be. Rothbard also maps out a strategy for achieving liberty, delving into ethics, tactics, education, abolitionism vs. gradualism, historical antecedents, and other crucial but generally neglected points. For A New Liberty ends on an upbeat, inspiring note, as Rothbard explains why he believes liberty will ultimately triumph over the forces of statism and collectivism. For A New Liberty gives the reader the invigorating feeling of contact with a truly original, razor-sharp mind. It's a seminal work, rich in insights and novel arguments. And it's written in a lively, vigorous style that makes most other political writing seem dreadfully dull and stodgy by comparison. How important is For A New Liberty? Let's put it this way: every serious libertarian — indeed, anyone who is at all interested in libertarianism — must be familiar with this book. It is that essential. If a copy of For A New Liberty — preferably worn with wear from repeated readings — is not on your bookshelf, or your friends' bookshelves, remedy that grave omission now. |
