Weaver’s book offers human liberty as the “mainspring of human progress.” The book begins with a series of puzzles about why we are so much better off than our ancestors and then explores why systems lacking liberty haven’t worked. The bulk of the book is an historical look at how the “revolutionary” idea of liberty struggled to dominate and eventually did. Weaver finishes with a discussion of the “fruits of freedom” as seen from the late 1940s.

What a crock of ett. lol.
It’s one thing to spin a yarn. It is quite another to rewrite history to fulfill your own self-serving world-view.If Crockett were alive today, he most certainly would not be a Libertarian. While he argued for individual responsibility, he also spent most of his adult life fighting the Progressive fight for his community.
