The Lanterns: Liberty's Beacons on Freedom's Path
Formatted for your smartphone's Kindle app, "The Lanterns" is the world's most comprehensive point-by-point reference on liberty, prosperity, and individualism.
Drawn from the likes of intellectual giants such as Bastiat, Gassett, Hayek, and Tocqueville, the Lanterns is a point-by-point introduction to the five key pillars of Western civilization:
1. From Savage to Civilized: The origins of liberty, prosperity, and the West
2. Freedom vs. Serfdom: Individualist philosophy vs. collectivist dogma
3. The Absence of Coercion: What liberty is, and is not
4. The Way Ahead: Liberty and technological progress
5. Principles and Process: Liberty and democracy
"The Lanterns" includes 602 beacons that enlighten the path from whence we came; philosophical guideposts to ensure that those treading beside us and following in our footsteps do not fall prey to the ideological highwaymen attempting to divert us from liberty’s path.
As a persistent electronic reference, it can be learned at one’s own pace without any immediate need to acquire and read the 24 key references that influenced it.
For those wishing to find each point’s broader context, sources and page numbers are included. Those wishing to dig even deeper will find a list of the key references in the “Influences, Further Reading” section.
"The Lanterns" is your one-stop source that teaches everything about liberty that must be learned by those defending liberty. A perfect reference for students and life-long learners.
Know liberty. Know prosperity.
Note: Each point resides on a separate page; the preview shows points without the page breaks which are present in the Kindle edition.
