A Dim View of Libertarianism
Ernest Partridge, Co-Editor
The Crisis Papers
Table of Contents.
1. What is Libertarianism?
2. The Myth of Social Atomism
3. Market Fundamentalism
4. The Privatization Panacea
5. Corporations: Invaluable Servants,
Ruthless Masters.
6. The Inevitability of Government
7. Concluding Questions.
These essays are drawn from numerous articles, both published and posted
on the internet, that I have written during the past decade, as I have
witnessed with much consternation, the spread of libertarian dogmas into
American political and economic policies, and beyond the United States
to many countries abroad. This series attempts to put some of those
writings into a coherent order, and thus it is more than a quilt of
stitched-together excerpts. All the material has been carefully reviewed
and revised as necessary, and there is in addition a considerable amount
of new material.
