Beschrijving
This work defends a libertarian conception of a free society, one in which negative rights (rights not to be interfered with in peaceful pursuits) are identified and protected. It argues that such a society is the best ideal for humans and that this ideal is deserving of everyone's support.
The Passion for Liberty
makes a convincing case for freedom, using a moral (as opposed to utilitarian) argument. This is an impressive primer on the principles of liberty.
A remarkably clear, concise, and engaging statement of the 'libertarian' defense of liberty. What is especially useful is the application of that defense to specific public policy issues, something that the reader will find helpful and challenging.
