Brian Doherty considers Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement.
This illuminating, lively history of a political movement on the rise - told through the life stories of its standard bearers - casts new light on the intellectual and political history of post-WWII America. Doherty traces the evolution of libertarianism through the unconventional stories of Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Milton Friedman, and their personal battles, character flaws, love affairs, and historical events that altered its course. In so doing, he provides a fascinating new perspective on American history, from the New Deal through the culture wars of the 1060s to today's divisiveness.
In February, the Wall Street Journal noted, "With 'Radicals for Capitalism', Brian Doherty finally gives libertarianism its due...Mr. Doherty has rescued libertarianism from its own obscurity, eloquently capturing the appeal of the 'pure idea', its origins in great minds and the feistiness of its many current champions."- Cody's Books

Wow, I think much rather prefer a RandFan than any of the other type man, as a friend or ally.
This is bad comedy, even for the libertards.
Thankfully, they've yet to learn that humping the Constitution's leg just isn't gonna do it as far as convincing anyone.
