Best Books on Liberty and Freedom

there are some fictional works that have a lot to say -
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert A. Heinlein
(where TANSTAAFL originates)
April Morning - Howard Fast
(excellent historical fiction about Lexington and Concord)
The Crossing - Howard Fast
(historical fiction of Washington crossing the Delaware)
Anthem - Ayn Rand
(short, but possibly better than Atlas Shrugged)

Have I got the link for you.... ;)

I started the collection when I joined the movement. I've bought 30 books from amazon, since then. ;)

Soon to get more. :D

Enjoy!

I read two books this last month and they were brilliant! They are kind of old but the information was very illuminating. The titles are the "The Naked Communist" and then "The Naked Capitalist" By Cleon Skousen. They show with great detail how are freedoms are under attack. Who are the people attacking them and why. They are companion books that really pop the lid on the last 100 years of history on the World. They both made it to the top best sellers list. Just like Ron's book was a thorn in the establishment's side. These books were as well.

You won't go wrong with these books.

Cleon taught for years about correct government principals and the constitution in the spirit of the founders. He endorsed Ron Paul for president years before Ron ever decided to run. I sure do miss this man; he passed away a year or two ago.

A couple wonderful books for the intelligent layman that comprehensively cover libertarianism both theoretically and as applied to particular issues are Mary Ruwart's "Healing Our World In An Age of Aggression" and Murray Rothbard's "For A New Liberty". A good shorter version is David Bergland's "Libertarianism In One Lesson".

They provide the best grounding you'll find - and you can go from there to books more specificically focused on particular issues - such as Mises various books on economics, Hoppe on political theory with respect to anarchism, democracy and private defense. Read any of James Bovard's books for exposes on government in current events.

Go to Mises.com for extensive information as well as LewRockwell.com.

essay on Liberty changed my thinking. Before that I was a neocon nazi, and I became a classic liberal.

this essay is a classic. Be sure you have a dictionary handy.

If your in the mood for a thousand+ page read, Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" is arguably the most well known Pro-Capitalism Book of recent history.

Here's a link to a GREAT classic. The Law by Frederic Bastiat. As relevant today as when it was written: http://tinyurl.com/6dpzwk
