Everywhere, that is, except in our politics. There we are held hostage to an eighteenth century system, dominated by two political parties whose ever-more-polarized rhetorical positions mask a mutual interest in maintaining a stranglehold on power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Declaration of Independents\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling and extremely entertaining manifesto on behalf of a system better suited to the future--one structured by the essential libertarian principles of free minds and free markets. Gillespie and Welch profile libertarian innovators, identify the villains propping up the \u003ci\u003eancien regime\u003c\/i\u003e, and take aim at do-something government policies that hurt most of those they claim to protect. Their vision will resonate with a wide swath of frustrated citizens and young voters, born after the Cold War's end, to whom old tribal allegiances, prejudices, and hang-ups about everything from hearing a foreign language on the street to gay marriage to drug use simply do not make sense.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Gillespie\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor-in-chief of the websites Reason.tv and Reason.com and \u003cb\u003eMatt Welch\u003c\/b\u003e heads up the print edition of \u003ci\u003eReason\u003c\/i\u003e, which since 1968 has been a kick-ass, no-holds-barred political magazine (\u003ci\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/i\u003e) whose refusal to carry water for the Republicans or Democrats is deeply refreshing in this age of partisan bickering (\u003ci\u003eFolio\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191532511539,"sku":"9781610391009","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OGZhRGN2Ui9Ld0M0TDBjdjUwWkEzUT09.webp?v=1775045038","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-declaration-of-independents-how-libertarian-politics-can-fix-whats-wrong-with-america-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
