This classic work has been comprehensively updated and completely rewritten to be more relevant, wide-ranging, and useful than ever.

With insight and candor, Libertarianism In One Lesson answers all the common questions about the freedom philosophy: What exactly is libertarianism? What are its historic roots? Are libertarians conservative or liberal? What would libertarians do to solve America's most vexing problems? And does libertarianism work in the "real world"?

The book lays out the central premise of libertarianism -- "You own yourself" -- and reveals how that deceptively simple statement has a wide-ranging impact on the relationship between government and individuals.

But there's more. Libertarianism In One Lesson sparkles with provocative proposals, insightful analysis, dry wit, and startling information. (See below for some of the "Did you know?" facts in the book.) You'll be intrigued and enlightened as Bergland discusses:


• National defense and terrorism. Find out why Big Macs and hip hop music may be America's most powerful weapons against foreign dictators. Why we don't need to worry about aggressors seizing Middle Eastern oil. And why a noninterventionist foreign policy would make America safer. (Did you know: The United States had troops stationed in 135 foreign nations in 2004?)

• Education. Find out why government per-pupil spending has doubled over the last 30 years -- and yet 47 million Americans are "borderline illiterates." And get convincing proof that public schools are what poor parents settle for -- not what they would freely choose. (Did you know: 46% of public school teachers in Chicago send their children to private schools?)

• The War on Drugs. Find out the 15 most compelling arguments against drug prohibition. What we should have learned from Al Capone. And how the War on Drugs encourages criminals to make more potent, dangerous drugs. (Did you know: African-Americans are 13 times as likely as whites to be imprisoned on drug charges -- even though blacks and whites use drugs at about the same rate?)

• Poverty. Find out why government welfare programs perpetuate poverty -- instead of curing it. And where the $33,700 that the federal government supposedly spends on welfare for each four-person poor family really goes. (Did you know: America's poor have a higher standard of living than the average middle-class American family had in the 1970s?)

• The environment. Find out why pollution is really just another form of trespass. How fishermen in Great Britain stop water pollution (and why we should follow their example). And why timber companies frequently take better care of forests than the National Park Service. (Did you know: The federal government pollutes more than all chemical and oil companies combined -- but not a single bureaucrat can be prosecuted for environmental crimes because of sovereign immunity?)

• Guns and crime. Find out how guns make you safer -- even if you don't own one. Why the U.S. Department of Justice now admits that the Second Amendment "secures a personal right of individuals." And how criminals respond when they think a potential victim might be armed. (Did you know: Given the relative number of guns and the number of swimming pools in the USA, a child is 100 times more likely to die in a swimming pool accident than from a gun accident?)

• Health care. Find out why traditional health insurance drives up medical costs. How Medicare and Medicaid's $30 trillion unfunded liability threatens your children's financial future. And which two healthcare reforms would immediately shift power back to consumers. (Did you know: The FDA has killed as many as 119,000 Americans by delaying access to lifesaving drugs?)

But there's more. In Libertarianism In One Lesson, Bergland demolishes the fuzzy thinking that encourages people to blindly turn to government and politicians to solve problems. Once you read this chapter, you'll never again fall victim to the Utopian Fallacy, the "PANG" Premise, or the Free Lunch Fallacy. This section alone is worth the price of the book!

In a fast-moving Q&A chapter, Bergland quickly and clearly contrasts the conservative, liberal, and libertarian positions on major issues. He suggests practical policy proposals to help America move in a more libertarian direction -- starting today. And he offers a hopeful, inspiring vision of a libertarian renaissance in America.

This new Ninth Edition of Libertarianism In One Lesson has been extensively updated. It's as current as today's headlines, and tackles terrorism, the war in Iraq, Social Security reform, and even the ongoing debate about medical marijuana.

Libertarianism In One Lesson has been acclaimed by critics. Peter McWilliams, best-selling author of Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do, said the book is "excellent. [It explains] the only political/economic philosophy that makes any sense to me -- or to the Founding Fathers." Free-Market.net called it a "classic." Liberty Tree called it "a concise, eloquent introduction to libertarian thought and how it can be applied to real-world problems."

"The BEST DEBATE I've ever seen!"
--Mark Skousen

WOW! A no-holds-barred intellectual "cage match" on today's hottest political issue!

Four of today's sharpest political minds square off in one of the hottest political debates we've ever seen. And it's all on this DVD!

The topic: U.S. Foreign Policy and the War in Iraq.

Speaking AGAINST the war and for a non-interventionist foreign policy: two good friends of the Advocates, libertarians Ron Paul and best-selling author Doug Casey.

Speaking FOR the Iraq war and for U.S. intervention abroad: Two conservatives with razor-sharp minds, Larry Abraham and Dinesh D'Souza.

The result is not to be missed! Dinesh D'Souza is one of today's most widely-read and influential conservative thinkers. Larry Abraham is author of one of the biggest-selling conservative books of all time, None Dare Call It Conspiracy.

D'Souza and Abraham really understand libertarianism -- something that's often lacking in debates like this. But they strongly disagree with most libertarians on this topic. That's what makes this so hot!


And the fur flies! D'Souza denounces non-interventionism as "idiotic" and a threat to world freedom. Abraham accuses Casey of "contempt" for America.

Paul and the acid-tongued Casey are equally passionate and provocative and knowledgeable, as they make the case that the Iraq war is a disastrous policy, immoral, and a grave threat to American civil liberties.


This is a genuine combat of ideas. Both sides roar through the big issues, the questions everyone is asking. They get to the heart, the nitty-gritty essentials about the war and foreign policy in general.

It's completely riveting. There's not a dull moment.

This debate was the unquestioned highlight of this year's FreedomFest, "The World's Largest Gathering of Free Minds" -- a fun, festive annual gathering of free marketers and free thinkers. The next FreedomFest is July 9-12, 2008 at Bally's/Paris Resort, Las Vegas. Learn more at www.FreedomFest.com.

Who won? People are still arguing about it! See it and decide for yourself.

Ron Paul's Magnificent New Book!

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship by Ron Paul. Quality paperback, 372 pages.

Ron Paul's rip-roaring brand-new book is that rarity: a book as current as today's headlines that is also a timeless classic.

Today Ron Paul is winning converts to liberty across America as he condemns foreign aid, the Iraq War, bloated military budgets, the United Nations, and senseless foreign intervention -- along with most of the other actions, domestic and foreign, of the federal government.

Now comes this magnificent new book that proves Ron Paul has been delivering this same message -- against incredible opposition -- from his first day in Congress in 1976 right up to today.


"A Foreign Policy of Freedom is a collection of Ron Paul's inspired statements to the House of Representatives that show him to be the most consistent and morally responsible politician, perhaps, in the whole of American history." --Ludwig von Mises Institute


Over and over again, as these brilliant and courageous essays show, Ron Paul has stood up for individual liberty, personal responsibility, free markets, and peace -- sometimes utterly alone, a party of one -- America's lone spokesman for libertarianism in Congress.

This is riveting, electrifying reading! A graduate course in liberty. And a true "profile in courage."

Again, the Mises Institute: "This book makes Ron Paul's place in history. There has never been anything so forthright, truth telling, and ultimately devastating from a U.S. politician."

Don't miss this brand-new book that details the ideas that are changing America's political debate!
