"And thus we see the government is at once both protector and predator. It is not that governments begin in virtue only to end in sin. Government begins by protecting some against others and ends up protecting itself against everyone. This is the course of history."

–Robert LeFevre,The Nature of Man and His Government

From Wikipedia:

Robert LeFevre (1911-1986) was a libertarian businessman and radio personality. In 1957, LeFevre founded the Freedom School, which he ran until 1968, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Freedom School, later renamed Rampart College, was designed to educate people in LeFevre's philosophy about the meaning of freedom and free-market economic policy. After Rampart College's collapse, LeFevre carried on his work in South Carolina under the patronage of business giant Roger Milliken.

Notable teachers at the Freedom School or Rampart College include Rose Wilder Lane, Milton Friedman, F.A. Harper, Frank Chodorov, Leonard Read, Gordon Tullock, G. Warren Nutter, Bruno Leoni, James J. Martin, and even Ludwig von Mises.

Review by Wally Conger:

Ideally, this book (and its companion volume) will someday have its typos cleaned up and be reissued in a beautiful hardcover edition. But in the meantime, this first edition will do just fine. A Way to Be Free is a must for all devotees of the heroic Bob LeFevre, one of the grand founders of our modern libertarian movement. And it is a great reminder of the influence LeFevre's Freedom School had on so many of us -- even those who were unable to ever attend -- way back in the '60s. Buy this one, read it, then pass it on!
