New and Notable
Drug War Addiction, by Sheriff Bill Masters
An insider's look at the failure of the war on drugs, by a
sheriff who's been on the front lines and seen the futility of it
all. Masters spins interesting and heartbreaking stories. There's
also a general discussion of libertarianism in the last chapter. A
great outreach book.
from Laissez Faire Books, $10.95.
Collapse of a Dream: Social Effects of Economics in India and the World, by Rayasam Prasad
Ostensibly about the devastating effects of collectivism in India, but really a general indictment of it worldwide. Prasad points an accusing finger at all who deserve it -- including the U.S. A bit uneven, but very engaging and informative.
from Amazon.com, $17.95.
The Way Back Machine: Environmentalism and freedom
As I already mentioned, the Johannesburg Summit is past, to the relief of those who were concerned about more feel-good but hollow agendas resulting from its meetings. Reading the coverage and commentary, I couldn't help but wonder how a movement with such good intentions has gone so far off course. Analyzing that is left for another day and a different forum, though. Is there any way we can help get the environmental movement back on a sound course, one that isn't thoroughly collectivist and inimical to human life?
The Way Back Machine provides a way, in the form of a book first published in 1996: Facts, Not Fear: A Parent's Guide to Teaching Children about the Environment, by Michael Sanera and Jane Shaw. The utility of this book reaches far beyond teaching children sound science and ways to challenge the fear-mongering of today's greens. Anyone who wants to counter shaky environmental claims will find helpful suggestions and ideas in Facts, Not Fear.
Order Facts, Not Fear from Laissez Faire Books, $14.95.
