Customer Reviews

everyone in the US should read this book

This book clearly outlines the proper role of government in our society, and then very eloquently spells out why. This book was written in 1964, way before most people knew anything was wrong with the government becoming involved in every part of our lives. Leonard E. Read was brilliant in his foresight and his ability to communicate in clear concise ways, the things every American should know about freedom. This book is a must read for anyone who loves freedom.

Great libertarian primer

I read this book decades ago. It explained clearly and simply the fundamental beliefs of libertarianism and helped me crystalize my budding philosophy as a libertarian. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how us freedom lovers think.

A great anti-intrusive-government book

I saw this book recommended by a Libertarian. I'm glad I purchased and read it. It brings forth an excellent pro-freedom argument. Get it.
