Give Me A Break
John Stossel is an anchor of ABC’s 20/20. His book Give Me A Break is the best introduction that I know of to the Libertarian perspective. If you’ve ever heard Stossel report, you should immediately hear his voice come through as you start reading this book. He gets down to business pretty quickly, but he doesn’t get bogged down in it, so you will always be wanting to read more.
While it is not as securely grounded in in-depth and tested research like the Friedmans’ Free To Choose, it is much more engaging reading, and comes highly recommended from yours truly. I have even been known to call it “The Best Book Ever,” although I admit that may be a bit of hyberbole. But only a bit.

I’m buying that book next week for my trip – you’ve convinced me to give it a try.
