The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible

The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible

"The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible" is a libertarian book written by Ken Schoolland, a libertarian and professor of economics. It is designed to be read by anyone, so it suitable for anybody to read, from ages 0 to adult. Although it is read by many adults, it is aimed at the young audience, hoping to show young people the perils of a statist society in ways they can easily understand.

Plot

Jonathan is a boy, who lives in a small town. All the people in his village he considers boring, and often he dreams about going to adventure.

One day, when he is playing around in his boat, a storm takes him away to another land, where he starts to learn about the country's strange (and misguided) laws and regulations.
