There are few more stale battles in Australian politics than those which pitch right against left. Australia’s political parties were built in the twentieth century for twentieth century obsessions. We are at a critical moment in history where voters are deeply dissatisfied with existing political institutions. Libertarianism—the philosophy of government which pairs free market economics with social liberalism— presents a vigorous and viable political alternative to the old left-right partisan shouting match. Libertarianism offers surprising new answers to old questions like immigration and civil liberties, and provides a framework by which we can tackle contemporary problems like privacy, the environment, and technological change. In this book, Chris Berg offers a new agenda to restore individual liberty in Australia, revitalise politics, and strengthen our sagging economy.
