I Chose Liberty by Walter Block
Walter Block leaned on 82 of the world's most prominent libertarian thinkers
and ask them to tell their life stories with an eye to intellectual
development. The result is the most comprehensive collection of libertarian
autobiographies ever published. Their stories are thrilling and fascinating.
They reveal their main influences, their experiences, their choices, and
their ambitions.
There are some very interesting lessons here for everyone. We learn what
gives rise to serious thought about liberty and what causes a person to
dedicate a professional career or vocation to the cause. We also discover
some interesting empirical information about the most influential
libertarian writers.
