Anyone read this one?Are You Liberal? Conservative? Or Confused?$10.95Richard Maybury is back with another "Uncle Eric" book. Like the others in this popular series, it is clear, informative, stimulating, and written in a delightfully entertaining style. Here Maybury explores political labels and what they mean. Liberal, conservative, left, right, republican, fascist, communist, anarchist, moderate and others -- Maybury defines them, explains them, and compares and contrasts them with the philosophy of liberty. He also explodes the fallacy of the old "left-right" spectrum. Maybury shows why only a consistent philosophy of personal and economic liberty can solve our national problems and bring peace and prosperity. Written as a series of letters to an imaginary nephew, this book, like the
other "Uncle Eric" books, has plenty of depth and breadth to make fine reading
for adults. But Maybury's clarity, precision and succinctness make his books
also ideal for teenagers and college students. There's a lot of history,
economics, and political science here, all presented in a form that makes it a
pleasure to read. Bravo! |
