The book by one of the leading representatives of the Austrian school of economic thought, Murray Rothbard, “Towards a New Freedom” is a manifesto of libertarianism - a modern version of classical liberalism, advocating a radical limitation of government functions in all areas of social and economic life. Substantiating the thesis about the moral and practical advantages of private activity over public activity, in his book Rothbard consistently considers a wide range of problems of modern society - from education and social security to the structure of the judicial system and the police.
