Walter Block's collection of essays and columns applying the libertarian non-aggression principle to the issues of the day. The book opens with foreign policy, from the Iraq war and the case for letting the South go to Chechnya, Kashmir and Palestine, then turns to economics: microeconomics and ratings, the Federal Reserve and the penny, environmental questions from private water to hurricane relief, and a long section on labor that defends scabs, yellow dog contracts and the limits of unions.
The last part covers personal liberties: feminism and sports, drug legalization, charity, and other subjects on which Block takes the uncompromising position. Dedicated to the memory of Murray N. Rothbard.
