  Inside Liberty  

4 LettersOur readers dot the i's and cross the t's.
7 ReflectionsWe kill most of humanity, throw money away to save it, flash our badges at 14-year-olds, catch a coyote, rehabilitate Judas, refuse to apologize, arrest you while we still can, and discover that it's giant tortoises all the way down (to the foundations of liberty).

Features

17 Winning the Battle for Freedom and ProsperityJohn Mackey outlines a plan for selling freedom in an unfree world.
23 They're Still Coming for Your LandWhat happens when politicians respond to the people's outrage over invasions of property rights? Not much, as Timothy Sandefur reports.
28 Centennial of an Unnatural DisasterDale Gieringer recounts the first shots fired in the War on Drugs.
35 The Notion that Caused the Great DepressionRichard Timberlake lifts the lid on the single, subtle idea that brought down the financial house.

Reviews

43 V as in MCMLXXXIVThere may be "no coincidences," but Jo Ann Skousen finds that the parallels of "V for Vendetta" and "1984" extend all the way to the casting.
44 V for VicissitudeRoss Levatter reviews the screen version of Alan Moore's anarchist tour de force: what it was, and what it could have been.
48 The End of Welfare as We Know ItWhat would it be worth for America to be rid of the welfare state once and for all? Lanny Ebenstein audits Charles Murray's latest bold idea.
50 The South Will Fall AgainWas Lincoln's victory inevitable? Lance Lamberton weighs in on the controversy.
52 "Goddammit, NO"Bruce Ramsey examines the life of Isabel Paterson, a remarkable libertarian writer who would sooner burn bridges than submit to an editor.
49 Notes on ContributorsCatch 'em while you can.
55 Terra IncognitaWaltzing through the danse macabre.
