| Description: |
Through an examination of the libertarian worldview, once on the margins of American politics but now in the mainstream, this title shows how it has attracted powerful political supporters and is promoted by a network of institutions and policy advocates dedicated to its ideals. |
| Synopsis: |
Looking at public policy debates in conventional terms&BAD:mdash;in terms of conflict between the left and the right&BAD:mdash;has grown increasingly cumbersome in an era where conservatives call themselves revolutionaries and liberals strike positively Burkean poses when it comes to reforming Social Security or Medicare. Through an examination of the libertarian worldview, once on the margins of American politics but now in the mainstream, William E. Hudson shows how it has attracted powerful political supporters and is promoted by a network of institutions and policy advocates dedicated to its ideals. The Libertarian Illusion offers a well researched, balanced, and systematic critique of libertarian policy proposals on both the conservative (taxation and fiscal policy, health care, social security, and business regulation) and liberal (abortion, stem cell research, and euthanasia) sides of the traditional political spectrum.Always engaging and provocative, Hudson hones in on the fundamental value differences that drive political debate, arguing that a more communitarian outlook offers solutions more likely to solve America&BAD:rsquo;s policy problems. |
