Links
for Libertarians
Laissez
Faire Books
If you're
looking for intellectual ammunition in the fight against tyranny or
for allies in the struggle, this should be your first stop. It may
have the world's largest inventory of books dedicated to individual
liberty and free market economics, and it features a huge number of
links to freedom-oriented institutions and individuals.
Institute
for Justice
IJ is a legal
foundation that fights against government regulation and destruction
of the free market. A recent victory challenged the government's
authority to regulate and license Internet content providers. It has
also challenged burdensome, irrational, and useless state licensing
laws that prevent minorities from starting up small businesses such
as hair-braiding, jitney services, or funeral casket sales. Very
worthy of support.
The
Cato Institute
This leading
libertarian think-tank provides a growing libertarian influence on
Washington policy debates. It has, for instance, spearheaded the
increasingly popular movement to replace Social Insecurity with
private investment plans that can grow and earn real interest. It is
also one of the very few free market policy organizations that has
the courage to routinely and regularly point out how Republicans
routinely and regularly oppose the free market and betray individual liberty.
The
Reason Foundation/Reason Magazine
Reason Magazine
is one of the most influential libertarian political journals and the
Reason Foundation has had significant success in selling free market
solutions to local governments seeking an alternative to bureaucratic waste.
Drug
Policy Foundation
Let's face it.
The War on Drugs is not only a colossal failure, it's an incredibly
expensive destructive social force that probably kills far more
people than it could ever hope to save, and that destroys the social
fabric of hundreds of thousands of families. And don't forget the
massive violations of our fundamental Constitutional rights and
police corruption that it generates. The Drug Policy Foundation is
one of the few sane voices that has managed to focus attention on
this wretched government program.
Libertarian
Party
If political
action is your thing but you can't remain in the same room as the
Democrats or Republicans without getting nauseous, check out the
Libertarian Party. It is America's most successful independent
political party; it is dedicated to individual liberty; and it has
elected numerous people to public office on the local level.

John
Stossel
The heroic
reporter for ABC, who has managed to air several documentaries that
challenge statist shibboleths, now has a web site that allows you to
suggest issues for him to take up. It has lots of useful information
related to his work.
