We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Left-libertarians.

More info: Left-libertarianism names several related but distinct approaches to politics, society, culture, and political and social theory. Some social anarchists and libertarian socialists, including Murray Bookchin, are sometimes called left-libertarian. Noam Chomsky also refers to himself as a left libertarian. Left-libertarians in this sense may share with "traditional socialism a distrust of the market, of private investment, and of the achievement ethic, and a commitment to expansion of the welfare state." However, left-libertarianism is perhaps used with particular frequency today to refer to either of two positions whose proponents draw radical conclusions from classical liberal or libertarian premises-one emphasizing links between self-ownership and egalitarianism, the other stressing the socially transformative potential of non-aggression and free markets.
