        Great Books on Liberty
    (As of: 25-Feb-2002)

    As the founding ideal of the United States of America, liberty unfortunately is taken for granted by most people, gets short shrift in today's schools, and is lost in current debates on public policy. Reacquaint yourself with the great books on liberty, as compiled by the BestWebBuys staff. We selected the great books over the last 300 or so years that form the foundation of, or have contributed to the principle of liberty. Books are listed chronologically by first date of publication, not in order of importance. If you disagree with any of our selections, or would like to submit a list of Great Books on Tyranny and Collectivism, send us an email!
