David Gordon’s review of Libertarianism Today for the Mises Review is now online. Here’s how it starts:
Jacob Huebert’s outstanding survey of libertarianism ranks as the best work of its kind since Murray Rothbard’s For a New Liberty. Huebert navigates successfully difficult waters. Many people, when they first hear of libertarianism, dismiss it as extreme and irresponsible. How can libertarians seriously propose to end public and compulsory education, repeal all regulations on drugs, and consign medicine entirely to the market? Huebert brings to bear a wealth of argument and historical evidence to show that, in these and other instances, libertarians have a convincing case.
Incidentally, people keep asking about the Kindle version of the book. Apparently there have been some technical difficulties on Amazon’s end, but the publisher assures me that it’s coming very soon. Meanwhile, Amazon, which was sold out for a while, now has hardback copies in stock for immediate shipment, and you can get the paperback at Mises.org.
