Uncivil Liberties: Deconstructing Libertarianism

Description

Last year, Praxis Peace Institute responded to the libertarian conspiracy film Thrive with a pamphlet titled "Uncivil Liberties: Deconstructing Libertarianism," carefully and concisely laying out the problems inherent in libertarian philosophy and why it is so appealing to today's society. Now, in a book by the same name, six contributors from Praxis have expounded on their arguments to create a compelling case against the radical tenants of libertarianism, demonstrating the untruths promoted within libertarian culture and how concerned citizens can avoid and refute common myths spread by extreme right-wing ideologies. This book is a must-read for anyone invested in modern politics and the future of the United States. Praxis Peace Institute is a non-profit peace education organization based in Sonoma, California, dedicated to deep inquiry, creative problem solving, and informed civic participation. Since its founding in 2001, Praxis Peace Institute programs have addressed the most relevant social challenges of our time, from communication and conflict transformation, to politics and propaganda, to the economy.
