Ron Paul Reading List 82 books / 17 members / 24 posts Thomas E. Woods, Jr. writes: "A lot of people joined Ron Paul’s movement out of an attachment to one particular issue, and without necessarily understanding the whole package. The Revolution: A Manifesto lays out that whole package as a single, coherent, and elegant whole. It gives Ron Paul’s movement a statement for the ages. One reason Taft Republicanism died is that Robert Taft left behind no systematic statement of his philosophy around which a continuing effort could cohere."

Former Member of Congress Barry Goldwater, Jr., says of the book: "This book takes a wrecking ball to the political establishment. Senator Goldwater would have loved it. It’s The Conscience of a Conservative for the twenty-first century."

Please don't bother joining if you have no intention of participating in the discussions.
