Libertarianism is hardly new, but its framework for liberty under law and economic progress makes it especially suited for the dynamic new era we are now entering, including Russia. David Boaz presents the essential guidebook to the libertarian perspective, detailing its roots, central tenets, solutions to contemporary policy dilemmas, and future in American politics.

Libertarianism is must reading for understanding one of the most exciting and hopeful movements of our time. The book illustrated the main phase of the movement.
