Reviews

Friedman here extends his natural rights approach to libertarianism - as discussed in Nozick's Libertarian Project - into a series of challenging analyses of currently salient public policy issues: an important work, for libertarians and non-libertarians alike. Hillel Steiner FBA, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy and Honorary Research Fellow, University of Manchester, UK
