The Passion for Liberty

The book presents a libertarian view of a free society where individuals are sovereign and self-governing, emphasizing the importance of consent. Drawing on the philosophies of thinkers like John Locke and Ayn Rand, it argues that such a society is not hedonistic but represents the ideal for humanity. The author tackles various contemporary issues, including affirmative action, abortion, military intervention, and torture, exploring their implications for the relationship between liberty and democracy.
