"In Libertarianism, from A to Z, Jeff Miron provides a much needed
introduction to Libertarian thinking. In the process, he
demonstrates the power of economic analysis. His book provides a
much needed lesson in how to reach a conclusion rather than start
with one. Students and pundits could benefit greatly from reading
Miron's work and following his example."
Brink Lindsey, Vice President for Research, Cato Institute
"In clear, common-sense prose, Jeffrey Miron looks at government
policies from A to Z. To all of them he applies one simple test: do
the benefits of government action outweigh the costs? And most of
the time, he concludes the answer is no. Whether or not you always
agree with him, you'll find your own thinking sharpened by his
insistent, incisive skepticism." Choice
"An excellent small volume that explains the libertarian approach
and philosophy as it applies to a wide variety of issues and
topics...With its wealth of information, this book deserves a place
on the shelves of all academic libraries...Essential."
