具体描述
On Wall Street, in the culture of high tech, in American government: Libertarianism-the simple but radical idea that the only purpose of government is to protect its citizens and their property against direct violence and threat-has become an extremely influential strain of thought. But while many books talk about libertarian ideas, none until now has explored the history of this uniquely American movement-where and who it came from, how it evolved, and what impact it has had on our country.
In this revelatory book, based on original research and interviews with more than 100 key sources, Brian Doherty traces the evolution of the movement through the unconventional life stories of its most influential leaders-Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Milton Friedman-and through the personal battles, character flaws, love affairs, and historical events that altered its course. And by doing so, he provides a fascinating new perspective on American history-from the New Deal through the culture wars of the 1960s to today's most divisive political issues. Neither an exposi nor a political polemic, this entertaining historical narrative will enlighten anyone interested in American politics.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Modern libertarians see themselves as the loyal opposition to the totalitarian tendencies of centralized power, in an American tradition reaching back to the anti-Federalists. Doherty's astute history shows where that consensus comes from and where it fractures along personal, political and practical lines. As a procapitalist and antistatist philosophy, libertarianism has had its greatest impact in economics. But Doherty shows that modern libertarianism since the 1940s, and increasingly since the 1980s, has been politically and ideologically influential, too. Whether believers in a small state regulating only contracts and national defense, or no state at all (like self-described "anarcho-capitalist" Murray Rothbard), libertarians have rooted themselves in a number of institutions—from schools, publications and think tanks to the Libertarian Party, the country's third-largest ticket. Reason magazine senior editor Doherty conveys an insider's understanding in clear, confident prose. However, his sympathies resist questioning the fundamental assumption uniting diverse ideas, personalities and institutions: the belief in the power of completely unfettered markets to bring about the best possible society. Though partisan and sometimes hagiographic, Doherty's well-researched history avoids polemics in outlining a vital political orientation that cuts across the political spectrum.

用户评价
我得说，这本书的阅读体验是极具挑战性，但也因此令人回味无穷。它不是那种能让你在周末午后轻松翻阅的作品，更适合在需要高度专注的环境下，伴随着笔记本和高亮笔一起“征服”。作者对概念的界定极为清晰，但这些概念本身却涵盖了极其广阔的领域，从早期的工业革命史，到当代金融工具的演变，无不信手拈来。最让我感到震撼的是其对“演变”而非“创造”的强调——即便是看起来全新的经济现象，也往往能在历史的角落里找到其模糊的雏形。这种历史的连续性视角，极大地拓宽了我对当前经济形态的理解深度。与其说它是在“讲述故事”，不如说它是在“构建模型”，一个能够解释许多看似孤立事件的底层逻辑模型。虽然中间有几处论证的密度实在太大，需要反复回读才能完全跟上思路，但这恰恰是其价值所在，因为它拒绝提供廉价的、易于消化的信息。
评分这本书的结构设计非常巧妙，它以一种环形的方式展开，开头提出的问题，在中间的复杂论证后，在结尾处得到了一个充满张力的、开放性的回应，而不是一个简单的盖棺定论。它成功地将宏大的宏观经济趋势与微观的个体经验交织在一起，形成了一种既有深度又有温度的文本。我发现自己会不时地停下来，合上书本，思考作者刚刚提出的那个关于资源分配的悖论。书中对某些社会群体的生活细节的描述，充满了同情和理解，这使得严肃的理论分析不至于变得冷酷无情。它提供了一种非常罕见且宝贵的体验：即在保持高度的智力批判性的同时，不失对复杂世界本身的敬畏。对于那些渴望超越日常新闻标题，深入挖掘社会运行底层代码的读者来说，这本书无疑是一份厚礼，它教会我的，是如何更好地提问，而非急于寻找答案。
评分这本书给我的感觉，就像是走进了某位技艺精湛的建筑师的内心世界。它没有提供现成的模板，也没有直接给出“应该如何”的答案，更多的是展示了一种观察世界的全新透视角度。文字的张力在于其间流淌的批判精神，但这种批判并非空洞的指责，而是建立在大量详实的数据和跨学科引用的基础之上。我注意到作者在处理不同社会阶层或群体之间的互动时，采取了一种近乎人类学的田野调查式的细致描摹，避免了将复杂的人性简化为纯粹的经济符号。特别是关于某些新兴商业模式如何悄然改变传统道德观念的那几章，描写真是入木三分，让我不由自主地联想到自己周遭正在发生的细微变化。全书的行文风格，带着一种古典主义的沉稳，每一个句子都经过了精心的锤炼，很少有冗余的词汇，读起来有一种智力上的愉悦感，仿佛在进行一场高强度的思维体操。它更像是一面镜子，映照出我们这个时代最核心的矛盾和悖论。
评分阅读这本书的过程，更像是一场与作者的智力辩论。作者的立场鲜明，论据扎实，但其呈现方式却充满了微妙的引导性，让你在不自觉中接受了其预设的框架。我尤其欣赏其在叙事中穿插的那些关于“非理性行为”的案例分析。在主流叙事倾向于将经济参与者描绘成完全理性的决策者时，作者毫不留情地揭示了情感、文化偏见乃至纯粹的迷信是如何在关键时刻扭曲市场走向。这种对人性的深刻洞察，使得整部作品摆脱了单纯的理论说教，而带有了强烈的现实关怀色彩。书中的语言风格带有明显的学者气质，但并非板着面孔的学术腔调，而是充满了对探讨对象的热情和一种近乎哲学的追问精神。读完之后，你会发现自己对“效率”和“公平”这两个词汇的理解都被重新校准了。
评分这部作品，初读时便有一种扑面而来的历史厚重感，仿佛作者将毕生对某一特定社会现象的观察与思考凝结在了字里行间。它并非那种轻松易读的消遣之作，更像是对一系列复杂权力结构和经济驱动力的深度剖析。叙事节奏的处理相当老练，时而急促，如同历史洪流中的关键转折点，令人屏息；时而又放缓下来，聚焦于微观层面的个体挣扎与抉择，让读者得以细细品味其间的微妙张力。我尤其欣赏作者在构建论证逻辑时的严谨性，那些看似毫不相干的社会事件，经过作者的抽丝剥茧，最终被编织成一张宏大而具有内在一致性的图景。这种编织的手法，使得即使对相关领域背景知识了解不深的读者，也能循着清晰的脉络，逐步理解作者试图揭示的深层机制。读完之后，那种“豁然开朗”的感觉，并非来自简单的结论，而是源于对事物运作方式有了更深刻、更具批判性的认知。它迫使你重新审视日常生活中习以为常的经济规则，思考它们是如何被塑造，又在如何反过来塑造着我们的存在状态。
