4.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic, and very interesting
Schulman deals with a number of topics here, and approaches all
of them with a consistent liberty-oriented viewpoint. This may
bother some, but it does not negate the validity of his truths.
I suspect that Schulman's rejection of the nanny-state may be
the reason for the previous reviewer's disdain. "Self Control..."
is an interesting read.

I can do no better than to quote a reviewer of another of Mr. Schulman's books. "The book contains very little material written [originally] for this edition; rather, it's a compilation of various unpleasant e-mail threads and letters to the editor. It seriously aggravated me to have paid for a book containing verbatim transcripts of junk I could have read for free on the Internet. Mr. Schulman is bright and makes some strong arguments, but overall the work is shoddy -- petulant, unscholarly, and devoid of editing."

This book is more of the same: random notes and web postings bound together and sent to the printer. It is unfortunate, as Mr. Schulman is clearly a thoughtful proponent of liberty.

I would highly recommend his fiction, particularly "Alongside Night", however.
