Editorial Reviews
>From Publishers Weekly
Modern libertarians see themselves as the loyal opposition to the
totalitarian tendencies of centralized power, in an American tradition
reaching back to
the anti-Federalists. Doherty's astute history shows where that consensus
comes from and where it fractures along personal, political and practical
lines. As a procapitalist and antistatist philosophy, libertarianism has had
its
greatest impact in economics. But Doherty shows that modern libertarianism
since the 1940s, and increasingly since the 1980s, has been politically and
ideologically influential, too. Whether believers in a small state regulating
only contracts and national defense, or no state at all (like self-described
“
anarcho-capitalist†Murray Rothbard), libertarians have rooted themselves
in a number of institutions—from schools, publications and think tanks to the
Libertarian Party, the country's third-largest ticket. Reason magazine
senior editor Doherty conveys an insider's understanding in clear, confident
prose. However, his sympathies resist questioning the fundamental assumption
uniting diverse ideas, personalities and institutions: the belief in the power
of
completely unfettered markets to bring about the best possible society.
Though partisan and sometimes hagiographic, Doherty's well-researched history
avoids polemics in outlining a vital political orientation that cuts across
the
political spectrum.

"[Doherty] has done an impressive job of pulling together an interesting,
enlightening, and entertaining history of the American libertarian movement."
