Informationen zum Autor Stuart K. Hayashi has worked at the Hawaii State Capitol as a legislative analyst and aide in the governor's office and both legislative houses. Klappentext The Nature of Liberty trilogy presents an ethical case for individual liberty, arguing from the philosophy of Ayn Rand and citing the findings of evolutionary psychology to demonstrate the compatibility between human nature and laissez-faire liberty. The first installment, The Freedom of Peaceful Action, makes the philosophic case that an approach starting from observational reason will indicate the practicality and ethical desirability of a free-market system based on rights.
