Description

"Libertarian presidential candidate Harry Browne shows how we can get from today's oversized, $2 trillion federal government to a libertarian America in which you can live as a free person - free to live your life as you think best, not as the politicians want - free to raise your children by your values, not as the bureaucrats demand."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Wow! This was an excellent book. It made me think, it made me mad, it made me change my views on a lot of things, it made me want to join the Libertarian Party.
Harry Browne is an economist and perennial Libertarian Party presidential candidate. He's an excellent writer, but unfortunately, he has the personality of a rock.
His book makes the case for why the Libertarian Party is the answer to all the problems in the country. He outlines how government works, how it came to be the mess it is today, and why the two major parties are in no hurry to change it.
He then discusses the Libertarian position on a range of issues. The good thing is that he discusses how we used to handle the issue, how it got to be a problem today, and how the Party show more would fix it. He doesn't just say everything's messed up, so vote for me.
These are the tough love solutions I was looking for from the Republicans which sadly, never materialized.
Highly recommended, but beware, it will make you think. Unless you're narrow minded.

Written in support of his 2000 election run for president, this is probably the best book written to date to explain what a Libertarian leader would do and why it is in a voter's interest to elect them. He repeats the offer itself: "Would you be willing to give up your favorite government program to get rid of the income tax permanently?"
