Congratulations to the Financial Times, for having the good sense to name Brian Doherty's Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement as one of its books of the year. Sez the Brits:
Brian Doherty's sympathetic, well-informed and endlessly entertaining tour traces the ways in which American libertarianism punches above its weight.

"...punches above it weight."
...unlike Ricky Hatton.
(Sorry, cheap shot.)
Barely off-topic:
Two years ago England sent out V for Vendetta. This year
we get The Golden Compass. Is someone in the Sceptered
Isle waking up?
I'm waiting for Doherty's next book, an account of the rise of sexually transmitted diseases during the Summer of Love, called This Is Burning, Man!
Shouldn't this post have been written by...what is
name...Brian Doherty?
Not that I think the staffers care what I say, but I hope Brian
wasn't discouraged from writing this by my calling him "Book-plug
Brian" a little while back.
It's all in good fun, a little grape-busting for writing such a
lovely book...
Come back Brian!

Welch is just a shill for Big Doherty!
