Lane describes the epic 6,000-year struggle of ordinary people who defy rulers to raise their families, produce food, develop industries, pursue commerce and in myriad ways improve human life. She celebrates the American Revolution which showed dramatically how ordinary people could achieve extraordinary freedom--and how we could do it again. "This is a book of timeless importance. It must be read by anyone who is seriously interested in the heritage of liberty--not just in America, but the world over. And reading it is a joy. Lane, who is said to have written the book 'at white heat,' was at once a brilliant thinker and a gifted storyteller."--Ed Crane, President, Cato Institute "An amazingly stimulating and eloquent book"--Henry Hazlitt
A half-century ago, when the world was engulfed in war and hundreds of millions were enslaved, Rose Wilder Lane wrote this passionate book which reasserted the supreme importance of individual liberty. In the Discovery of Freedom, she talks not about rulers marching through history, but the epic struggle of ordinary people who defy rulers to raise families, produce food, develop industries, pursue commerce and in myriad ways improve human life. It is the 6,000-year-old struggle of individuals to discover that they can be free.
