Have been aware of this book for 45 years, but just bought it and read it. I now understand fully its title. R W Lane was a writer, well known in her day. I actually read her "Let the Hurricane Roar" in high school American Lit in 1960--which is amazing, because it was in Oregon. (While her novels are not political, the fact that she was a CLASSICAL liberal--read that: libertarian-- would certainly keep all of her books off the curriculum in OR today given that state's rep for tolerance and inclusion--LOL.) In this book, Rose Wilder Lane discusses the experience with freedom in the last 6,000 years. The picture she paints is essentially correct that Freedom, properly defined, has been tried very little in all of mankind's existence. I can nit pick with some of what she says, but I'll tell you why I won't. First she wrote the book by her own admittance, in a flurry. It is not a book she set out to research and document with references to specific works consulted, etc. Rather, it was written like a long essay. Fortunately it comes to us from a learned lady, whose knowledge is long and whose thinking is pretty damn straight. You will ponder her discussion of the ideas and principles that differentiated what America's founders did that was unique in the planet's experience, AND I must add which has pretty much been forgotten. She was a seminal thinker in the modern libertarian resurgence, acquainted with Mises, Hayek, Rand, Isabel Patterson, Leonard Read, Sennholz, et al. Do also read Brian Doherty's wonderful book "Radicals for Capitalism."
