Some Time Spent with a Libertarian

I recently came across Robert Higgs Resurgence of the Warfare State: The Crisis Since 9/11. While I'm hardly a Libertarian, this work, courtesy of The Independent Institute, was worth the time spent reading. However, one of Higgs' inclusions originally appeared at VDARE, a questionable outfit I stumbled across via Captain Bama. I also noted some references to The Mises Institute way down yonder in the loveliest village on the Plains. Peace ... or War!
