This book is a classic in the Libertarian movement, and is thus somewhat untouchable. It is a great book, offering Bergland's brand of Libertarianism and many libertarian solutions in a simple yet thought-provoking fashion.

However, it is very dry and will not appeal to all. Those who couldn't care less about economics would not like this book. Granted, most Libertarians do care about them but that is only after realizing how economic liberty is really not separate from personal liberty.

I'd recommend this as a primer for those who are new to the movement but already consider themselves Libertarians. For those who aren't I'd recommend something like Harry Browne's Great Libertarian Offer, Virginia Postrel's The Future and Its Enemies, or a few current issues of Reason magazine to give you an impression of what Libertarianism, the politics of free minds and free markets, is all about.

This book is a must read for everyone!
If you are a libertarian, this holds many facts and quotes that you should commit to memory.
If you are interested in what libertarianism is, read this east to follow fact filled book with tons of references.
If you think you are not libertarian, get this book, read it and take the test and make sure you are not libertarian. I think you might find you agree with more of what Mr. Bergland has to say then you think.
This book is brilliantly crafted. With many additional resources listed at the end. The chapters are clear concise and really drive home the points.

If you know nothing about the Libertarian Party and you want to learn, this is the book to read!

Concise book outlining the major positions of this exciting third-party alternative to our current system. Thought-provoking ideas on how to work for substantial changes and bring us back closer to the ideas of our founding fathers and the Constitution as it was written. Short enough (approx. 120-130 pages) that everyone interested should give it a look, and there is an extensive bibliography of suggested reading if you wish to learn even more. Great starting point.

Taking a simple, but profound, issue to issue approach to Liberty, David Bergland makes each concern understandable to even the most unpolitical. This is the book for every defender of Freedom!!

This is a good introduction for anyone wanting to learn more about libertarianism. It's nice and short and only tackles the principles of libertarianism rather than taking a lot of time to focus on the "mechanics" of making it work. I would recommend it to anyone libertarians, liberals, communists) who wants to learn about different ideologies. There are plenty of books that focus on how a libertarian society could be established, so read those if you're looking for a "how to" book. Read this book if you want to get to know libertarianism a bit more.

GREAT BOOK! Clear and to the point. An informative yet easy read. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a question about the Libertarian party.
