Brits for Rationalism
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.
Buy the great stocking-stuffer of a book here, and follow its merry progress into the consciousness of a nation at Brian's Radicals for Capitalism website.

Dude, that book is way too big to be a "stocking stuffer."

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!

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!
