After years of having it in my book collection, I finally finished “Liberty Defined.” Even though I am not a libertarian anymore, I still look up to Dr. Paul, read his books, watch his Liberty Report on YouTube when I can, and I still do consider him to be my biggest influence in terms of me developing my political views.
“Liberty Defined” is libertarianism 101. It is an excellent way to understand basic libertarian principles from Dr. Paul’s perspective. Reading this book helped keep the libertarian in me alive and gave me more of a vivid understanding of what a truly free society is all about. That isn’t to say that it isn’t without flaws. The issues I now disagree with him on were discussed, but he didn’t do a good job of convincing as to why I am wrong on this issue. I am mainly talking about the chapter on “Empire” here and there were actually a few other sections that made me roll my eyes.
All in all, this is still an excellent and vivid read. In terms of political views now, I am like a mix of Ron Paul and Ben Shapiro. As if they merged to form one person. 90% of my political views are essentially based of them.
“Liberty Defined” is a great way to understand liberty and libertarianism, still highly recommend- 9.1/10.
