Radicals for Capitalism

"Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement" is a book by Reason Magazine's Brian Doherty about the history of libertarianism in the 20th century. It traces the evolution of the movement, including the life stories of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Murray Rothbard, among others; and details how they intertwined. The book does not proceed strictly in chronological order, preferring instead to break up the action into short stories around central themes.
