Liberty Defined

50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date.

The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliche. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty?

Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America.

This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul's position on fifty of the most important issues of our times, from Abortion to Zionism. Accessible, easy to digest, and fearless in its discussion of controversial topics, Liberty Defined sheds new light on a word that is losing its shape.

Good

Any additional comments?

I was expecting better (Ron Paul fan) but it is a really good read. I think life after the state is the best for this subject matter, for both info and entertainment. Still loved this one.

Ron Paul = Legend.

the modern day libertarian handbook. an easy and quick listen. narrator was fine. ron makes his case on a variety of issues with logic and common sense.

Thought Provoking

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend anyone who is interested in what was dreamed for America. Ron Paul does a great job separating each of the 50 topics out into sections: What the freedom is, how this effects you, how the government invades your freedom and his feelings on the topic. He separates his moral and religious beliefs out, and keeps it out until it is his section of personal feelings on the matter. This gives you plenty of time to develop your own opinions and thoughts on the topic before hearing his. Bob Craig, does a good job of never feeling invading, or pushing Ron Paul's feelings on the matter on to you, but instead, making it feel like a good friend sharing his feelings on matters. You can tell, as the footnotes show, that the research on the matter is vast, and pulls from many materials to not only bring you the topic, but on his personal feelings as well.

Bob Craig can drone on, and sometimes feels a bit edited in places, but this does not take away from his soothing voice, and the flow he puts to the words, when he is allowed to read freely. Its a great combo of reader to message.

Super Good!

Great way to look at things in a new way! Listen to the book when you are ready for sleep too!

Want to know what Ron Paul is about? This is it.

Would you listen to Liberty Defined again? Why?

Yes, at each point Ron Paul explains what he believes in and why. Who else in our congress, or in politics for that matter, is brave enough and consistent enough to put these points in writing?

What about Bob Craig’s performance did you like?

Well done. His voice was clear and strong.
