How
a Socialist and a Libertarian Came to Earth Sharing
Socialist
"I
have always been left-leaning. I believe there should be economic justice and equality of opportunity for all. My biggest early influences were
FDR, Olaf Palme, and Nelson Mandela."
Libertarian
"Over the years, I’ve come to realize that a lot of the libertarian

is one of the most widely-read social science books in history. Any thoughtful reader can understand it; no special training is required.
In
today's fast-paced world, many readers might prefer something shorter than the 600 page original. So, we've published an abridged edition that is half
the length, in 21st century English.
