- Liberty Classics — Isaiah’s Job
Join Jeffrey Tucker for an examination of Albert Jay Nock’s famous essay, “Isaiah’s Job.” This essay has been seen as both pessimistic and heroic, and at embodies the best of Nock’s skills as a thinker and a writer. Here’s a sample:
One evening last autumn, I sat long hours with a European acquaintance while he expounded a political-economic doctrine which seemed sound as a nut and in which I could find no defect. At the end, he said with great earnestness: "I have a mission to the masses. I feel that I am called to get the ear of the people. I shall devote the rest of my life to spreading my doctrine far and wide among the population. What do you think?" …
I mustered courage to say that he had no such mission and would do well to get the idea out of his head at once.

- Liberty Classics — Machiavelli's The Prince
How to wipe away the illusions promised by political control? An excellent place to start is Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince. Written in 1513, it considered the founding document of what is today called political science. It is an eye opening read, simply because it is such an unvarnished account of the primary purpose of the state. It is a manual for states to do the best possible job at achieving their aims.
And what is that aim? Back in the day, the excuses for power were to secure the population against invasion, to protect the people’s faith against heresy, to control the mob so as to restrain chaos that makes life impossible. Today the exoteric reasons for state control include those but add many others: to being about income fairness, to stop unjust discrimination, to clean up the environment, and so on.
See Jeffrey's new article on Machiavelli and 4 other essential books for liberty lovers.

- Jeffrey Tucker — Liberty Classics: The Way to Will Power
Enjoy an evening with Jeffrey Tucker and the greatest works of the libertarian tradition.
Tune in this week for his review of Henry Hazlitt's The Way to Will Power:
Henry Hazlitt’s The Way to Will Power, written in 1922, is a splendid as a manual for the management of personal life. It’s extraordinary to think that Hazlitt not only wrote the best-selling economics text of all time but also wrote a fantastic book on how to manage one’s life with expertise and success.
It is a lucid and entertaining book on psychology, applying common sense to discussions of will, self-confidence, and desires. He applies economic concepts of value-scales, and choice among values or desires. He offers a valuable early critique of psychoanalysis.

- Sell Liberty Like Don Draper with Joseph Diedrich
Join Joseph Diedrich to chat about his Liberty.me guide, Sell Liberty like Don Draper!
I don’t care if you’re twelve, twenty-two, or sixty-five. I don’t care if you’re a professor, a plumber, or a photographer. I don’t care how many treatises you’ve read, how many conferences you’ve attended, or how many Adderall you had for breakfast. Sharing your ideas about liberty is difficult.
You struggle to effectively discuss and write about liberty in ways that inform and impassion others. Yet you know the effort is ultimately worth it, for liberty fights for peace, unleashes creativity, and impoverishes suffering. So then, how can you communicate better and share liberty with more efficacy?
While you're here, check out Diedrich's even newer Liberty.me guide, Find Liberty in Unexpected Places!
