With the debate about the proper role of government continues today, this remains a powerful argument for laissez-faire policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160206038X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602060388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.93d","brand":"Bruce Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652389859583,"sku":"9781602060388","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c80ba04-e1c9-4d1f-9ad0-d01814b75350.jpg?v=1704215869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberty-liberalism-bruce-smith-9781602060388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
