The ideas presented in this book are about an alternative view of politics: a politics, not of force, but of persuasion, of live-and-let-live, of rejecting both subjugation and domination. The essays are mainly written by younger people who are active in the Students For Liberty, a very dynamic and exciting international movement. They offer an introduction to the philosophy by which most human beings live their lives on a day-to-day basis. Being a libertarian means not only refraining from harming the rights of other people, namely, respecting the rules of justice with regards to other people, but also equipping yourself mentally to understand what it means for people to have rights, how rights create the foundation for peaceful social cooperation, and how voluntary societies work. It means standing up, not only for your own freedom, but for the freedom of other people.

Are you disgusted by disrespect toward the flag, toward law enforcement, and toward those who have served our country? Perhaps you're tired of the fractured nature of our society, the labels, the bickering, the inability to have civil conversations with those of varying viewpoints. Maybe you've had your fill of pundits who shout over each other instead of treating each other with respect and engaging in intelligent conversations. As we rapidly splinter into factions, the odds of ever crafting solutions in this nation diminishes. You're probably sensing that with all our anger, shaming, victimhood and name-calling we're losing something precious - our freedom to think, believe, and speak our own minds. Most likely, much of what you believe and know about freedom is instinctive. You have a sense of what is true and what is false. You have a sense about what is force and what is freedom. You may not be able to articulate it in words; yet, you would love to be able to explain this beacon call of liberty you feel. It surges through you like the life blood in your veins. Finding the words can be frustrating. Restoring Liberty is designed to give you those words... a way to explain to your children, grandchildren, friends, family and acquaintances what freedom is. It does so in a conversational, easy read that doesn't bog down in tedious legalese. It explains the fundamentals of freedom in a way anyone can understand, using practical wisdom, stories and insights. Whether you lean toward the left or the right or somewhere in between, you most likely value your personal freedom. Now is a pivotal time to educate ourselves and others about the liberty that under-girds the very foundation of this nation. With a proper understanding of the principles that govern personal freedom, you can be a part of restoring liberty in America. Future generations will thank you.
