For a New Liberty arrived- Next reading?

Miscellaneous Newbies

My copy of New Liberty arrived a couple days ago. Pretty psyched to read it, the first Rothbard I read was Ethics of Liberty and I found it great. Sadly, there was a bit of damage (postal service?) on the front cover, but it’s pretty minor.

Anyway, once I’ve finished this, what do you suggest I read next, when it comes to libertarian books? (I have plenty of non-libertarian books already)- rothbard? some mises? something else entirely?

Any suggestions for a somewhat new rothbard fan? Thanks

Hey hey… welcome

What are you particulary interested in? Libertarianism deals with political philosophy - I gather you’re interested in that. Any specific area?

Egalitarianism As a Revolt Against Nature I found great.

Do you know much about Austrian Economics (value free) yet? Essentially they compliment eachother.

Maybe "What Has Government Done to Our Money?"

Hi,

I’m definitely more into the philosophy side of things… I’m a law student by trade, but I could expand into economics at some point in the future.

I did actually read ERAN, loved that too. Should have put that in the OP, whoops!

Thanks for the suggestion none the less…

Try “Human Action”, then.

Rightio, definitely:

Democracy: The God that Failed by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, OR Economics and Ethics of Private Property, which has a mix of both. Perfect

So, yeah.

Since making that post, I’ve finished New Liberty- my personal fav parts being the personal liberty and foreign policy chapters.

I have two books coming (a present from my parents currently in the US): One is the last knight of liberalism, the other is Man Economy and State. Got the study guide too, I had a look through the pdf on the site, and it looks pretty good. Of course, I’d much prefer a book to long pdfs, espeically such long books. Looks like I’ve got my reading sorted for the foreseeable future.

I’m just about to start reading,For a New Liberty.I’ve had it a few weeks now,but haven’t had a chance,i am really looking forward to it.

I have a lot of reading to catch up on,i have only recently discovered libertarianism and it has been a revelation,and this site is excellent.

The one book that confirmed to me i was a libertarian was,Harry Browne’s"Why government doesn’t work"
