"This is the best contemporary anthology introducing the reader to the basics of libertarianism."--Tyler Cowen, George Mason University"What a cornucopia! Handbooks are, of course, designed to be useful, but this one is also great fun as friends and critics insightfully converse across the range of libertarian issues. I shall keep my copy close at hand." --Loren Lomasky, University of Virginia"The Routledge Handbook of Libertarianism is a distinctive and distinctively valuable contribution to the literature. Those of us who work in political philosophy are indebted to the editors for assembling such an extraordinarily accomplished group of authors to write on the most important and pressing issues within and related to libertarianism."--Christopher Heath Wellman, Washington University
