5.0 out of 5 stars What Libertarians (and a LOT of others) Need MOST Right Now., October 16, 2007

By	Valiant S. Vetter (Wilmette, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though this book may not be shelved next to Bastiat, Mises, Rand, Rothbard, or even Harry Browne - this is a significant little book.

Though many Libertarians seek out the hard-core economic or philosophy tomes to delve into, those books generally only equip them to better argue the minutia amongst themselves - something that Libertarians DON'T need any more help doing. What Libertarians NEED desperately to do is to reach out to people who would rather have a root canal than read F.A. Hayek or Von Mises. THIS book gives you the stuff you need to reach those people - folks who don't yet know (or care) about the finer points of the Austrian school of Economics.

THIS book gives Libertarians - or anyone else who needs to sell something, even a great "product" like Liberty - the tools, tips, and techniques they'll need to sell it to others. That's probably why Cloud called the book "Secrets to Libertarian Persuasion" - though I think he's selling himself short. Properly adapted, many of his "secrets" could easily be adapted and used to sell any product. (In other words, salesmen who would like to make more sales - whether its Liberty or Life Insurance - will benefit from this book.)

This book is a quick read - an afternoon would be all it takes to breeze through it - but it's the kind of book that demands you go back and re-read, take notes, experiment.

With much of the country keeping a close eye on Ron Paul's candidacy, freedom (AKA Libertarianism) is in the public eye more than ever before. The opportunity to reach out to people and bring them into the light of Liberty is better than it has been for a long time - and THIS is the book that will get you past quoting "Atlas Shrugged" and getting only blank stares.

If you're a Libertarian - and want to do something positive for your party - for the movement - for Liberty, buy this book. Read it. Do as Michael Cloud suggests: try out a few of the techniques and tools. See what works for you, put them in your bag of tricks. Discard what doesn't work for you.

If you're a Republican, Democrat, or any other authoritarian collectivist who wants to keep Libertarians out of office - you should buy up this book in quantity! That may be your only hope of keeping it out of Libertarians' hands.

If enough Libertarians buy this book - actually read it - and put its "secrets" into practice - we'll be unstoppable. (If you like freedom - that is a GOOD thing!)

Go ahead - you slogged through Hayek, fumbled through Friedman, and muddled through Mises - the least you can do is spend an easy afternoon communing with Cloud.

(I see Amazon.com doesn't have any of these books in stock - until they get some - the Advocates for Self Government has them available)
