The Routledge Handbook of Libertarianism helps readers fully examine libertarian (sometimes also called classical liberal) thinking on justice, institutions, interpersonal ethics, government, and political economy. The 31 chapters--all written specifically for this volume--are organized into five parts: Libertarianism in Conversation with Other Theories, Questioning Libertarian Principles, The Role of Property and the Market, What is the Role of the State?, and Applied Libertarian Issues. As a whole, the Handbook provides a comprehensive, clear-eyed look at what libertarianism has been and could be, and why it matters.
"This is the best contemporary anthology introducing the reader to the basics of libertarianism."
--Tyler Cowen, George Mason University
"What a cornucopia! Handbooks are, of course, designed to be useful, but this one is also great fun as friends and critics insightfully converse across the range of libertarian issues. I shall keep my copy close at hand."
--Loren Lomasky, University of Virginia
"The Routledge Handbook of Libertarianism is a distinctive and distinctively valuable contribution to the literature.? Those of us who work in political philosophy are indebted to the editors for assembling such an extraordinarily accomplished group of authors to write on the most important and pressing issues within and related to libertarianism."
--Christopher Heath Wellman, Washington University
