But since all those Ayn Rand-niks are now in Congress, it's become a bigger deal. This book is an admirably clear exposition of the position--defined by David Boaz as "the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others"--which is useful to both adherents and those who merely want to "know the enemy." Of course, a lot of questions are left unanswered: Do I have to obey speed limits? Is it OK for me to drive on the left as long as I promise to swerve when I see you coming? Aren't there a lot of valuable enterprises that couldn't be achieved by individual effort alone, but only with a degree of government compulsion, including the federal highway system, public parks, and public libraries? 163116 1997 Libertarianism: A Primer total:73|5:28|4:31|3:10|2:3|1:1| 73 301 116 14 5 0 false false Thu Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 07:35:30 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 07:44:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Dec 03 17:51:51 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 17:52:31 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Sep 13 13:30:58 -0700 2007 Tue Feb 12 14:33:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Oct 23 14:44:53 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 22:10:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Oct 06 16:32:11 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 16:35:51 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Mar 24 19:49:56 -0700 2007 Sat Mar 24 19:50:53 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Jun 27 08:51:57 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 08:54:37 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 19 18:04:07 -0800 2009 Tue Sep 16 20:52:45 -0700 2008 Mon Jan 19 18:04:07 -0800 2009 5 0 true false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Aug 12 04:00:07 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 04:01:26 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Mar 09 17:23:31 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 17:24:44 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Sun Aug 10 03:39:55 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 03:46:54 -0700 2008 5 0 true false Fri Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Apr 05 16:00:30 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 16:01:20 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Thu Jun 21 13:25:17 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 21 13:26:12 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Jul 15 18:19:18 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 15 18:20:07 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 21:15:42 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 21:15:42 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Nov 13 12:37:37 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:37:37 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 08 17:00:47 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 17:00:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 11:38:39 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 11:38:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 11:23:36 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 12:05:42 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 30 17:41:19 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 17:41:19 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=573805
