Frank Chodorov, Educator
You have only a few years to live and cannot hope to remake society in so short a time. Nobody now living will see a free society in America. But, in fighting for it, one can have a lot of fun. Consider the effort as a legacy to your great-grandchildren.
On Underwriting an Evil
When I vote for the candidate who promises me betterment in my economic condition, I am condoning and encouraging some form of robbery. That does not square with my moral values.
Frank Chodorov, Nonvoter

Physiocracy and Free Trade in 18th-Century France

Ira Levin and This Perfect Day
Ira Levin died just over three years ago, on November 12, 2007, at the age of 78, the largely unsung author of one of the top half-dozen libertarian novels ever published in our language. <i>This Perfect Day</i> has been out of print in recent years, so largely unsung is it.
