Via Anarcho-Capitalists' Forum: A Brief History of the American Libertarian Movement: A Reading Guide

Any movement that fails to understand its history will either wither and dissolve, or morph into something unrecognizable. A detailed history of pro-liberty thought throughout the world would span many hundreds of thousands of pages. Even limiting it to American pro-liberty thought would require several volumes.

Therefore, this article aims to be a helpful outline of recommended reading for those interested in understanding the history of the modern American libertarian (and not merely “pro-liberty”) movement. There were certainly many great and influential pro-liberty activists in thinkers in early America and long before it, but the rise of a self-identified libertarian movement (using the definition as we understand it today) began in the early 20th century.
