  This book contains the following two topics: 
    - The Libertarian Ideal: Libertarianism is a political philosophy that places individual liberty at its core, emphasizing the importance of personal freedom, limited government, and voluntary cooperation. Rooted in centuries of intellectual thought, libertarianism advocates for a society in which individuals are free to pursue their own goals and aspirations as long as they respect the rights of others. This emphasis on freedom and responsibility makes libertarianism distinct from other political ideologies, which often prioritize collective goals or centralized authority. 
    - Libertarian Policies: Rooted in the principles of classical liberalism, libertarianism advocates for a limited government whose primary role is to protect individual rights and maintain peace. It emphasizes personal responsibility, free markets, and the belief that voluntary exchange is the foundation of a prosperous society. At its core, libertarianism seeks to protect the rights of individuals to live as they see fit, free from the coercive power of the state. The history of libertarian thought can be traced back to influential philosophers such as John Locke, who argued for the natural rights of individuals to life, liberty, and property. His ideas formed the intellectual groundwork for the concept of limited government, which would later be expanded by thinkers like Adam Smith, who promoted the idea of free markets. The Enlightenment era, with its focus on reason, individualism, and skepticism of authority, provided a fertile ground for the development of libertarian ideas. In the 20th century, libertarianism gained further prominence through the works of economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, who critiqued the expansion of government power and emphasized the importance of individual liberty in economic affairs.

  In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies—often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful—are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. While many accounts of the 1970s have been written about the regimes of domination that emerged throughout the decade, Hardt approaches the subversive from the perspectives of those who sought to undermine the base of established authority and transform the fundamental structures of society. In so doing, he provides a novel account of the theoretical and practical projects of liberation that still speak to us today, too many of which have been all but forgotten. 
   
   
   
  The movements of the seventies responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today. They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us. The 1970s, in this sense, marks the beginning of our time. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today.

  A Christian Perspective on the Joys of Reading 
   
   
   
  In today's technology-driven culture, reading has become a lost art. With smartphones offering information at the tap of a finger, reading a book is often seen as a tedious and outdated activity. Christians are not immune to this problem, as many find it hard to read books—even the Bible—consistently and attentively. Recovering the Lost Art of Reading addresses these timely issues by exploring the importance of reading generally as well as studying the Bible as literature, giving practical suggestions along the way. In this helpful guide, Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes encourage a new generation of readers to overcome the notion of reading as a duty and learn to see it as a delight.

  The Prince

  Nicoló Machiavelli

  The lion cannot guard himself from the toils, nor the fox from wolves. A Prince must therefore be a fox to discern toils, and a lion to drive off wolves. The modern-day term “Machiavellian” is used to describe deception, dishonesty, and cruelty to meet a goal. The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli was written as a guide for autocrats on how to govern using means that were meant to deceive and manipulate a government’s constituency—to the extent of advocating the use of evil for political expediency. In this classic work, the end justifies the means reigns paramount to Machiavelli’s system of government.
