In addition, this book throws an objectivist morality on top -- the opposition to voluntary charity, which I think is totally uncalled for. There are many people in this country who believe in God as the basis for morality, and even more who believe voluntary charity is good -- to intentionally disclude them from a work attempting to promote liberty is counterproductive. I myself am a Christian, but were I to write a pro-liberty work, I would certainly not use a belief in Christ as the basis for my reasoning. That said, I'm greatly enjoying the bulk of the book, which supports and explains a voluntary society -- it is excellent.
