Public Letters And Political Essays

This collection brings together the political writings and short essays of Lysander Spooner for the first time in a single volume. SpoonerÆs editorials span topics ranging from abolitionism and the Civil War, to free banking and currency, to the trial of President GarfieldÆs assassin, to government corruption in Massachusetts during the Gilded Age û all with biting wit and an uncompromising disdain for politicians. Containing over 40 years of newspaper editorials as well as the complete set of SpoonerÆs contributions to the magazine Liberty, many of these essays have been out of print for over a century. For any fan of SpoonerÆs political philosophy, and the idea of human liberty generally, this collection is essential reading. The American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, was founded in 1933 as the first independent voice for sound economics in the United States. Today it publishes ongoing research, hosts educational programs, publishes books, sponsors interns and scholars, and is home to the world-renowned Bastiat Society and the highly respected Sound Money Project. The American Institute for Economic Research is a 501c3 public charity.
