50 Years and Counting …<\/h3>\n

This year is also the 50th anniversary of my discovery of classical liberal\/libertarian ideas when I was still in high school here in Sydney. Here are 20 of those books. Several are pretty battered:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From left to right they are (with links to online versions where available): Etienne de la Boetie, The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude<\/a><\/em> (1570s); Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms<\/a><\/em> (1846-48); Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat, Economic Harmonies<\/a><\/em> (1851); Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat, Selected Essays on Political Economy<\/em> (1845-1850); Gustave de Molinari, “The Production of Security” (1849) in French<\/a> and English<\/a>; Gustave de Molinari, Les Soir\u00e9es de la rue Sainte-Lazare<\/a><\/em> (1849); Herbert Spencer, Social Statics<\/a><\/em> (1851); Lysander Spooner, No Treason and Letter to Thomas Bayard<\/a><\/em> (1870); Lysander Spooner, Collected Works<\/a><\/em>; Albert Jay Nock, Our Enemy, the State<\/a><\/em> (1935); Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged<\/em> (1957); Morris and Linda Tannehill, The Market for Liberty<\/a><\/em> (1970); Richard and Ernestine Perkins, Precondition for Peace and Prosperity: Rational Anarchy<\/em> (1971); Murray N. Rothbard, Man, Economy, and State<\/em> (1970); Murray N. Rothbard, Power and Market: Government and the Economy<\/em> (1970); Murray N. Rothbard, For a New Liberty<\/em> (1973); Murray N. Rothbard, “The Anatomy, of the State” (1965); Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State and Utopia<\/em> (1974); the Workers Party. Platform<\/a><\/em> (1975).<\/p>\n

What are missing from this photo is Roy Childs, \u201cAn Open Letter to Ayn Rand<\/a>: Objectivism and the State\u201d (1969) (which I have lost in my travels), Ludwig von Mises, Socialism<\/a><\/em> (1922, 1936, 1951) which I gave away at some point, John Hospers Libertarianism: A Political Philosophy for Tomorrow<\/em> (1971) which I sold when I moved countries, and Murray Rothbard’s newsletter The Libertarian Forum<\/a><\/em> (1969-1964).<\/p>\n

I reflected on the successes and failures of the liberty movement over the past 50 years in this blog post<\/a>: \u201cThe State of the Libertarian Movement after 50 Years (1970-2020): Some Observations\u201d (25 March, 2021)<\/p><\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n \n
