The Libertarian Alternative

Description

Libertarianism-the philosophy of government that pairs free market economics with social liberalism- presents a vigorous challenge and viable political alternative to the old Left-Right partisan shouting match. Libertarianism offers surprising new solutions to stagnant policy debates over issues such as immigration and civil rights, and provides a framework for tackling contemporary problems like privacy, the environment and technological change. In The Libertarian Alternative, Chris Berg offers a new agenda for restoring individual liberty in Australia, revitalising politics and strengthening our sagging economy.

Chris Berg is one of Australia's most passionate voices for free markets and individual liberty. He is a senior fellow at the free market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, where he specialises in civil liberties, the political economy of regulation, and media and technology policy. He is a weekly columnist with ABC's The Drum, a regular contributor for the Sunday Age, and has been published major papers in Australia and internationally.
