The Libertarian Mind by David Boaz

A Manifesto for Freedom

An accessible overview of libertarian thought that traces its intellectual roots and offers a practical defense of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and personal responsibility; it surveys historical thinkers and modern policy debates, critiques the expansion of the state in economic and social life, argues for lower taxes, deregulation, free trade, and noninterventionist foreign policy, and defends civil liberties such as free speech and privacy while addressing common objections and real-world trade-offs.
