Liberty Defined

50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom

By: Ron Paul

Narrated by: Bob Craig

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliche. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty?

Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America.

This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul's position on fifty of the most important issues of our times, from Abortion to Zionism. Accessible, easy to digest, and fearless in its discussion of controversial topics, Liberty Defined sheds new light on a word that is losing its shape.

A life-changing read.

Simply put: I don't know how anyone can read this book and remain Republican or Democrat. If there's an issue that you're questioning, Dr. Paul defines it in this book with all the wisdom and clarity in the world. I've always thought I was fairly conservative, but there's a few issues that he deals with in this book that completely changed my mind. Get this book and be open to what he says. It is so wrought with logic and reason, I defy you to find any reasonable argument against him.

He is not a crazy

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, Ron Paul really is a voice of reason. He take on all the left/right ideas and gives a thoughtful response to them.I found myself rethinking some of my own dogma and seeing his point on some issues. He is truly a new voice in the political system and someone more of us should be paying attention to.

I enjoyed hearing the reasoning behind what the media would call "madness" out of Ron Paul. Getting to hear why he stands the way he stands in a long explanation gave clarification compared to the 1 minute debate answers.
