Ep. 0250: 12 Writers Every Libertarian (Including Me) Should Read More


Listen Later

In this episode, CJ discusses 12 authors who (in his opinion) deserve to be more widely known & read among libertarian/anarchist/etc type people. Most of these authors would not actually identify as "libertarians" or "anarchists," but all have a strong independent streak & have at least some views & attitudes that overlap with libertarianism and/or anarchism. Furthermore, all of them are great writers in their respective genres.

Join CJ as he discusses:

  • Montesquieu
  • Alexis de Tocqueville
  • Jose Ortega y Gasset
  • John Dos Passos
  • Jacques Ellul
  • Jane Jacobs
  • Gore Vidal
  • Edward Abbey
  • Mike Resnick
  • James C. Scott
  • Kirkpatrick Sale
  • F. Paul Wilson
