| Why it’s on the list | Brian Doherty’s narrative history of American libertarianism — how a fringe current with no institutional home in 1945 acquired magazines, think tanks, donors and a place in national politics — organised around Mises, Hayek, Rand, Rothbard and Friedman, and sympathetic but unsparing about the movement’s schisms. |
