My Passion for Liberty Kindle Edition

Forty years ago, when he was a young trial lawyer in his hometown of Laredo, Texas, Jacob Hornberger discovered the libertarian philosophy. The discovery changed the course of his life.

Jacob is now a candidate for the 2020 Libertarian Party presidential nomination.

He is founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation (fff.org), a non-profit educational foundation whose mission is to present the principled case for the libertarian philosophy (and which, as a non-profit foundation, does not endorse his candidacy or any other candidacy).

The recipient of the L.P.’s Thomas Paine Award for outstanding communicator of libertarian principles, Jacob details his life’s journey from the courtroom to the world of libertarian education and explains how liberty became the passion of his life.

At the same time, he describes, in a clear and easy-to-understand way, the core principles of libertarianism and how they are the key to resolving the political and economic crises we face in society.

Learn why libertarians oppose socialism, interventionism, mandatory charity, the drug war, the regulated and managed economy, the Federal Reserve, public schooling, foreign wars and empire, immigration controls, trade wars, gun control, the war on terrorism, infringements on civil liberties, and the national-security establishment and its dark-side practices around the world.

In his introduction to the book, former presidential candidate Ron Paul states, “When I hired new staff and brought in new groups of interns, I would always recommend that they read everything they could get their hands on from Jacob Hornberger’s Future of Freedom Foundation. Jacob’s book is a battle cry against the tyranny of the state. His is not an offensive battle, but a fight to defend us against a state that wants to trample us, rob us, and ultimately kill us. That is why I am so happy to see that Jacob has written this very personal memoir of his life, and especially about his conversion to libertarianism. I am proud to call Jacob my good friend and I am so pleased that he has written this book.”

The life story and views of one of the clearest thinking libertarians of our time.

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

If liberty and freedom are important to you, then any work by Jacob Hornberger should be required reading. His newest book “My Passion for Liberty” tells his life’s story and how he eventually came to understand what it means to be a libertarian and why it’s so important . Jacob always writes with great clarity and all of us can learn from him.
The principles that matter to Jacob are the same ones that should matter to all of us. In addition to telling his story, this book takes on the meaningful issues of today and Jacob explains what the libertarian position is regarding those issues. Everybody should read this book. In addition, the work he has done at The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) is simply outstanding. It’s the finest source of libertarian thinking available today.

Great explanation of why he's running for president

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a clear explanation of how a libertarian should live. There are so few great people in the world. It's refreshing to find a person who you can point to and say, "That's who I want to be like." Jacob is one of those rare people. He reminds me of a younger Ron Paul.

There isn't a bunch of libertarian philosophy inside. It's more of an autobiography, and an explanation as to why he's running for president. I'll be very happy if Jacob gets the nomination, as this mostly well written book has convinced me.

This is an excellent book about liberty by someone who has maintained a commitment to liberty (even when he didn't realize it) for his entire life.

Jacob definitely has a passion for liberty. I've read several of his works and am going to support him as the 2020 libertarian presidential candidate.
