On Liberty brilliantly defines the ideal balance of individual rights and the power of the state. The philosopher Bertrand Russell declared, "On Liberty remains a classic. . . . The present world would be better than it is, if [Mill's] principles were more respected." The book remains one of the seminal works of political theory in our culture. Newly designed and typeset for modern readers by Waking Lion Press.

"These are the times that try men's souls," begins Thomas Paine's first Crisis paper, the impassioned pamphlet that helped ignite the American Revolution. Published in Philadelphia in January of 1776, Common Sense sold 150,000 copies almost immediately. A powerful piece of propaganda, it attacked the idea of a hereditary monarchy, dismissed the chance for reconciliation with England, and outlined the economic benefits of independence while espousing equality of rights among citizens. Paine fanned a flame that was already burning, but many historians argue that his work unified dissenting voices and persuaded patriots that the American Revolution was not only necessary, but an epochal step in world history.

Adam Smith has rightly been called the father of free-market economics. The great statesman Edmund Burke said that The Wealth of Nations may have been the most important book ever written. The philosopher David Hume was also lavish in his praise for the work. Modern economist Todd G. Buchholz has added this assessment: "But is it a good book? Not only is it a good book, it is a great one. With the hubris that goaded Gods into striking down Greek tragic heroes, Adam Smith stared confidently at the world and delivered nine hundred pages of analysis, prophecy, fact, and fable--most of it clear, charming, and aimed at helping the reader to understand his great book."
