Description

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliche. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty?

Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America.

This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul's position on fifty of the most important issues of our times, from Abortion to Zionism. Accessible, easy to digest, and fearless in its discussion of controversial topics, Liberty Defined sheds new light on a word that is losing its shape.

    Ron Paul does a fantastic job identifying practically every issue facing our time period. Very insightful, thought provoking and engaging. I recommend this to anyone (especially students) who want to have a clear perspective about our country in its current stand.

    A very well written book about an ideology I vehemently disagree with. And for the reviewer who felt Mr. Paul's "logic" couldn't be argued with - to the contrary. Mr. Paul commits one logical fallacy after another. Most often, the fallacy of false dilemma, a favorite of ideologues, left or right.
  • Definitely Presidential

    This is an awesome in depth look into the mind of Ron Paul. It's a no holds barred defense of the individuals sovereign right to liberty. I was on the fence about Dr. Paul, I knew to say the very least he was honest, but there is some truly thought provoking positions taken pertaining to the most relevant issues of our time. Long story short, this man IS my president regardless of what happens in the upcoming elections. The republican party would be making a huge mistake not nominating him in the primary.
  • Excellent

    I was on the fence about Ron Paul after the main stream media said he was the "grand father" of the tea party. But it is now clear that he is a true American that has true American values and truly understands the role of government! I will write him in during the 2012 election of I have too!
  • Amazing book.
