Review:
Kirkus, May 5, 2011 "An enthusiastic, entertaining libertarian critique of American politics, brimming with derision for the status quo and optimism for the future and confident of the right direction." Marginal Revolution, May 20, 2011 "This is the up-to-date statement of libertarianism. Not warmed-over right-wing politics, but real, true-blooded libertarianism in the sense of loving liberty and wanting to find a new path toward human flourishing."Washington Examiner, June 26, 2011 "An important book and lively read." Forbes.com, July 4, 2011 "A fun and ultimately positive look at how anti-authoritarianism, entrepreneurship and independence have led to one revolution after another in the way we think about the world, the products we buy, and the jobs we end up getting (or creating for ourselves).... It's a good book, a well-written, easily accessible manifesto on how libertarian ideas and anti-authoritarianism can help change the world, and how they will one way or another, whether we like it or not. Just as importantly, the book is uplifting, optimistic and full of energy." RealClearPolitics, July 5, 2011 "The Declaration of Independents is a refreshing political book in that it kind of, well, hates politics, and it's worth reading on this issue alone.... An important read with solid insight into today's political mess.... Gillespie and Welch are full of optimism for the future."

America is moving in the libertarians' direction not because they have won an argument but because government and the sectors it dominates have made themselves ludicrous.
