Origially published in 1984, "Libertariansm in One Lesson" is a concise, very readable explication of the principles of libertarianism, also known as "classical liberalism". The originall "liberals" believed in the primacy of the individual, and the peaceful fostering of a productive society through peaceful market interactions. If they believed in government at all, they believed in small government, based on the protection of Natural Rights, and th principle of "negative reciprocity". Mr. Bergland's book covers these principles and how they are used in practice. It is a valuable book.
