As such, libertarianism is not very controversial. Who, after all, advocates murder, rape, or theft, quintessential violations of this code? However, when this perspective is applied to a whole host of legal issues, the fireworks begin.

This book will lay out the libertarian philosophy in all of its dimensions and apply it to several very fascinating issues, including the following: sexual, religious and racial discrimination, environmentalism, markets in human body parts, drug legalization, the Boy Scouts and antigay discrimination, sexual harassment, and criminology.

Whitehead is a “good old boy” from the backwoods of Arkansas.
