Publisher’s summary
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.

Libertarianism is a thought experiment, and nothing more. Like how hypothetically you could release a domestic rabbit into the wild and it *could* live a long and happy life. Except it won’t, because reality doesn’t cater to fantasy.

I agree Jack. It can’t work in the real world. Nice to think about though. It is like Marxism a thought experiment that just can’t work. Even when the communists tried to use his theory as a base for the government it had to be altered so much that the theory failed. Libertarianism is the same. It can’t be used as a system of government. You would have to change it so much that it would no longer even resemble the original idea.

Agree with you 100% there cluckers

From here it looks like a justification for selfishness.

I think ‘Jennifer Government’ by Max Barry is a more entertaining look at libertarianism. https://politicalaudio.org/abss/jesnnifer-government-max-barry/

The Libertarian Mind
“You can’t make me pick up my room if I don’t wanna!” he cried, petulantly.
The End.

Libertarianism will “happen” more and more naturally with technology. The more comfortable the sheep are with relying on themselves (probably through technology making it easier) then the more we’ll go to that. What, you guys like the taste of government boot or something?
February 26th, 2024
The government boot? We are the government in a democracy. Don’t like something, vote it out. Yu can’t build a society worth caring about without compromise and taxes. Anyone who disagrees with this has never been to Europe where walkable cities and trains that go 300kph are the norm while Americans sit in traffic in their twentieth century dead-end technology.

If David Boaz gets one more person to read Jennifer Government, his life won’t have been a total waste of time.
Thanks for reminding us all @davidlacey.

There is a trade-off between wealth/growth and tax/ regulation. The US doesn’t even have a national healthcare system nor maternity leave nor is it easy to unionize nor basic regulations around public safety. But people are richer and there is more money in people’s pockets. There are regular polls that show that people would like lower taxes and they complain about the high tax burdens. But the very same polls regularly show that people aren’t happy with the provision of public services (that schools are underfunded, that infrastructure in inadequate, that high medical costs lead to bankruptcies, that crime is too high, that the DMV lineups are too long, etc.). You have to accept higher taxes to get better public services. I think Libertarians just argue that if government just got out of the way that markets will just magically provide better services and be kept in check by their concerns for reputational integrity. At best it seems like an empirical claim to me. At worst, it’s a blind faith in the private companies, the legal profession, and people’s self-interest…that until you eliminate government altogether and ratchet up the power of mega-corporations and completely unfetter their rights we’ll never know.
