Americans are becoming ever more disillusioned with the twotraditional political parties. Both seem to offer more of the same: more spending, more war, more bailouts for big businesses, more control over people's lives.That's why more people than ever are taking a look at libertarianism.But what does that mean? Attorney and law professor Jacob H. Huebertexplains in Libertarianism Today, an engaging introduction tothe libertarian movement's ideas and people.The book starts with the basic libertarian idea that people should be free to do whatever they want as long as they don't harm anyone else.Then the book examines what that means for a wide range of contemporaryissues, including the economy, health care, guns, drugs, onlinefile-sharing, and more.Libertarianism Today also introduces the people who areadvancing these ideas, from maverick Congressman Ron Paul to theAustrian economists who predicted the 2008 financial crisis to thelawyers who are fighting for freedom in the courts.Read this book and see how, even as it's getting more mainstreamattention than ever, today's libertarian movement has only become morestarkly opposed to the Washington DC status quo - and see why morepeople than ever are considering this genuine alternative.
