The Declaration of Independents

“These incurably upbeat journalists with Reason magazine believe that not even government, try as it will, can prevent onrushing social improvement…. The Declaration of Independents is suitable reading for this summer of debt-ceiling debate, which has been a proxy for a bigger debate, which is about nothing less than this: What should be the nature of the American regime?” —George Will, Washington Post “The Declaration of Independents is a refreshing political book in that it kind of, well, hates politics, and it's worth reading on this issue alone…. An important read with solid insight into today's political mess.” —RealClearPolitics “This is the up-to-date statement of libertarianism. Not warmed-over right-wing politics, but real, true-blooded libertarianism in the sense of loving liberty and wanting to find a new path toward human flourishing.” —Tyler Cowan, Marginal Revolution
