HOW TO FIX AMERICA The "land of the free" is in deep trouble-the deepest since the War Between the States-not just economically, but politically and every other way. Her greatest institutions are crumbling all around us. In Down With Power, the acclaimed libertarian writer and thinker L. Neil Smith, author of over 30 liberty-related books and 50-year veteran of the freedom movement, strips this crisis to its essentials, offering solutions-sometimes "radical," in that they go straight to the root, more often simple common sense-resulting in a body of ideas that can elevate America to her former greatness. Subjects covered include: The Zero Aggression principle National defense The moral effects of taxation Limiting corporate power The truth about money The United Nations, terrorism, and torture Global warming If you're feeling politically homeless these days; If you're new to libertarianism and want to know what it's really all about; If you're a …

I've heard L. Neil Smith speak several times and I agree with him on almost everything. returnreturnI heard of this book and thought it was exactly what we needed. I expected it to be an updated equivalent to a Mary Ruwart standard, like "Healing our World" or "Short Answers to Tough Questions" returnreturnIt tries to be, it tries hard to be a new platform in a world where the Libertarian Party Platform doesn't say anything. returnreturnBut it doesn't. Not only is it published poorly, with grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes that even I can notice, but Smith has become nothing but an old man who thinks pretty damn high of himself, and talks as if everyone in the room agrees with him and he's trying to show how big his Libertarian penis is. returnreturnMaybe its a reminder that I need to be less L. Neil Smith, and more Jefferey Tucker. …

Neil Smith, and more Jefferey Tucker. returnreturnIf you're a Libertarian looking to see how to explain your positions, this is not the book for you. Take a look at either of the ones I listed. returnreturnIf you are new to libertarianism and want to see what its all about again look at one of the other too, or get a modern perspective by clicking into Ernest Hancock. But this one is worth passing by for everyone, unless you are a statist looking for a reference book to show your college professors why no one should listen to libertarians.
