Opis

The Libertarian Party first emerged as a political force with the election of 1980. This was also the year when Ronald Reagan was elected President. It is thought by many that Reagan's economic policies most closely resembled those of libertarians. But this was not true. Still, even now, many people think that the libertarian movement is a distinctly American movement fostering liberty and "American values." On the contrary, the Libertarian Party is merely faux American in principle. This book will clarify the ideas of the libertarian movement which originally put itself forward as an extension of Ayn Rand's philosophy. Ms. Rand disagreed vociferously with libertarianism and strove to distance herself, her philosophy and her followers from the movement. Her view was that America needed a new philosophy of man not a distinctly political movement such as "libertarianism."
