The Principles of Ethics, Volume II
Herbert Spencer
Издател: Liberty Fund
Though almost forgotten today, Herbert Spencer ranks as one of the foremost individualist philosophers. His influence in the latter half of the nineteenth century was immense.

The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
Michael Novak

The Virtue of Selfishness
Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand chose this book’s provocative title because she was on a mission to overcome centuries of demonization. “In popular usage,” Rand writes, “the word ‘selfishness’ is a synonym of evil; the image it conjures is of a murderous brute who tramples over piles of corpses to achieve his own ends . . . and
The Way to Will-Power
Henry Hazlitt
Издател: Ludwig von Mises Institute
What a thrilling little treasure this is, a completely rediscovered book by Henry Hazlitt from 1922
This is Hazlitt before he became an advocate of the Austrian School, and here he is not writing on economics but personal ethics as informed by ancient principles. But the pre-Austrian in him shines through, because it is an application of the
Thinking As A Science
Henry Hazlitt
Издател: Ludwig von Mises Institute
t's incredible that this 1916 tutorial on how to think, by none other than Henry Hazlitt, would still hold up after all these years. But here's why. Hazlitt was largely self-educated. He read voraciously. He trained himself to be a great intellect. In the middle of this process, he discovered that it is far more important to learn to think clearly
This Hemisphere of Liberty
Michael Novak
Издател: Тhe AEI Press
The subject of this book, the author writes, "is how to build institutions of liberty in this hemisphere of the Americas." Its thrust is twofold.
