As a primer to this mode of thought, not as a valid mode of government.

Excellent introduction to both classical and modern libertarian thought, principles, etc. I particularly like that Boaz differentiates the political theory and philosophy from that of the pop culture, godless, capitalistic, cynical version espoused by Ayn Rand and her followers. He also delves into some of the varied paths taken by different libertarian thinkers, some of which diverge quite a bit from each other, yet still relate back to the core principle of individual freedoms.
