Target Liberty names Laurence M. Vance "Libertarian of the Year."
Many of you may not be familiar with Vance but I urge you to get familiar with his writings. He is a prolific and important libertarian writer.
Some of what he writes is not of interest to me but when he writes about libertarianism, I believe he is one of the most consistent in correctly applying libertarian theory. In the age of Trump, this is extremely important.
I would also argue that he is one of the most underrated libertarian thought leaders and he deserves a much wider following.
Vance is a columnist and policy adviser for the Future of Freedom Foundation, an associated scholar of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and a columnist, blogger, and book reviewer at LewRockwell.com. His published books and pamphlets include "Social Insecurity," "The War on Drugs Is a War on Freedom," "War, Christianity, and the State: Essays on the Follies of Christian Militarism," "War, Empire, and the Military: Essays on the Follies of War and U.S. Foreign Policy" and "Gun Control and the Second Amendment."

ReplyDeleteI second your choice. Laurence Vance is the MAN!!! He's fearless in his writings and deserves a much wider following.
ReplyDeleteI had the opportunity of sitting next to Dr Vance at a lunch at the Mises Institute years ago. A true gentleman, and a man of great courage and learning. This award is most fitting.
