Praise for Libertarianism Today
"In Libertarianism Today, Jacob Huebert draws on his mastery of libertarian philosophy, Austrian economics, and history to show that limited government and free markets are the only cures for the numerous problems facing our nation. Huebert also provides an excellent introduction to libertarian thought and a concise summary of the history of the libertarian movement. Anyone interested in learning more about the past, present, and future of the liberty movement can benefit from reading this book."
- Congressman Ron Paul
"J.H. Huebert is a scholar who can really write. If you want an unvarnished look at the libertarian movement and care about the future of liberty, read this book."
- Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., founder and chairman, Ludwig von Mises Institute

"There should be a guy carrying boxes of this book to every college bookstore in America. Give it out, loan it to your friends. . . . It's awesome."
- Scott Horton, Antiwar Radio
"It's really quite excellent. If you know nothing about libertarianism, it's all in there . . . I've got my Christmas shopping taken care of for all my non-libertarian friends!"
