End The Fed by Ron Paul

While I'm not sure that Libertarianism is a long term solution, I do believe that it is the right ideology for these times.

An excerpt from End The Fed:

...education is the key to political change.  I have no problem with those who say education is the most important thing, but eventually a theoretical philosophy has to be translated into political actions -- and that's exactly what the Founders did.

Mises had something to say about this: "The flowering of human society depends on two factors; the intellectual power of outstanding men to conceive sound, social and economic theories and the ability of these or other men to make these ideologies palatable to the majority."

In my opinion, the political leaders must make the ideology acceptable to the people.  Of course, the ideology of welfare and socialism is easier to sell since it's based on the majority getting something for free.  But when the people recognize that's only a temporary situation they will become more open to the suggestion that freedom offers more, once the bankruptcy of statism is acknowledged.  Such a condition is becoming more apparent every day. [p.56]

It should be noted that statism -- the same old Democrat/Republican rhetorical shuffle -- has not done society any favors.  See the Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin Commencement Address elsewhere on this site.
