5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Finest Publications for People who Need to Know, June 29, 2004
. . . the inside and the other side of the story. While a Libertarian magazine, it is not a tool of the Libertarian Party. I do not agree with every article in this magazine. But I do respect the opinions expressed.Each article comes from a base of knowledge by people who have a real understanding of their subject. So it gets you to thinking and perhaps changing your opinion. At least you can see another point of view and see why it might be valid. But basically the magazine promotes Libertarian ideas and ideals and is a strong proponent of the free market. I absolutely love this magazine and can't imagine not reading it. In fact, I prefer it to "Reason" . . . although I think a Libertarian is wise to read both. It has been said that "Liberty" has the voice of the editor. Well, it does but that's not a bad thing. The editor has some issues with the LP. But he doesn't let that color the objectivity of the magazine. And I would not respect a person who strictly followed "any" party line and didn't think for himself. This is a well written magazine and it deals with issues that are important to people on the left, right and in the middle. It perhaps leans a bit to the liberal side on some social issues, as one reviewer said. But it is not so liberal as to not hold some of the Ayn Rand philosophies and some of the more conservative Libertarian ideas. If you care deeply about the issues and want a unique view, you need to subscribe to this wonderful magazine. Susanna K. Hutcheson
