Subject: Libertarian Source List

Hello Libernetters, especially those who have joined in the last month...

LIBERNET may not be the best source for getting the basic info you 
might be looking for on libertarianism or the Libertarian Party. It's 
really intended for communicating news items, articles, and so on. So, 
let me recommend some places you can get good information about libertarianism.

SOURCES OF FREE INFORMATION

1. The Libertarian Party
Give them a call at 1-800-682-1776. They'll send you a free info kit on 
the party itself. In Washington State, call 1-800-353-1776.

2. Advocates for Self-Government. Give them a call at 1-800-932-1776. 
They are a non-profit
organization dedicated to helping people learn more about 
libertarianism in general and they'll send you a free magazine called 
"The Liberator."

3. Laissez-Faire Books
Give them a call at 1-800-326-0996. They'll send you their free monthly 
catalog of libertarian-oriented books. Just reading the catalog and its 
book reviews will give you a good sense of the range of libertarian 
thought and the wide scope of libertarian scholarship and the many 
organizations that make up the libertarian movement.

4. The Cato Institute
Give them a call at 1-800-767-1241 and ask for their free publications 
catalog. This is the premier libertarian thinktank, and hosts 
conferences that are often broadcast on C-SPAN. Their analysts often 
write for the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, and appear on many 
major news programs.

5. The Foundation for Economic Education
Give them a call at 1-800-452-3518. They are an academic organization 
which publishes books, monographs, and the monthly magazine, "The 
Freeman";  organizes conferences; and provides scholarships for 
students. Ask to be put on their mailing list and have them send you 
some information.

A VERY SHORT READING LIST
One of the best libertarian publications (not affiliated with the 
Libertarian Party per se) is Reason magazine, available at better 
newsstands and at many B. Dalton Booksellers. Many of the books listed 
below can be ordered from Laissez-Faire Books (listed above) and can be 
found in libraries and used bookstores, etc.

Best Introductory Works:
"Restoring the American Dream" Robert Ringer
"For a New Liberty"  Murray Rothbard
"Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" Ayn Rand
"Free to Choose" Milton Friedman
"Economics in One Lesson" Henry Hazlitt

And please, if you have any questions on things Libertarian, please 
don't hesitate to email me directly!
