A Handbook for Personal Liberty - showing you how to use libertarian principles to make your life much freer right now. It presents a unique libertarian view of morality, government, society, and human nature. Part I identifies the mental traps that are so easy to fall into - traps that prevent you from being as free as you could be. Part II provides specific techniques you can use today to obtain greater freedom from government, from societal restrictions, and from business, personal, and family problems. Part III shows how to make necessary changes to a freer life right now.

While Harry waited and hoped for a free society, he made sure that his own life was as free and happy as possible. Using the same libertarian principles that would underlie a free society, he created a successful and joyous life for himself and his family. He put these principles and techniques into this book.

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World will not only put you on the path to a freer, happier life, it will inspire almost anyone to take greater responsibility for his own life - to quit focusing on the shortcomings of others and use the sovereignty one does have to take control of one's own life and make the most of it.

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World can make your life much freer and happier!

If you're wondering whether your investment portfolio is going to retain its value in these uncertain times or whether your retirement savings are safe, there are ways to assure that you won't be hurt - whatever may come.

For over 30 years Harry Browne showed investors how to protect their assets from turbulent markets. Even during periods when inflation and recession have buffeted the economy, people have made money following his advice.

For 27 years he published an investment newsletter, costing $225. His personal consultations cost hundreds of dollars. But now you can have his method for constructing a bulletproof investment portfolio for only $9.75.

Harry Browne's portfolio approach has been adopted by wealthy and middle-class investors alike, by
sophisticated speculators and by people who just want to be sure their savings are absolutely safe.

This short book can be read in one to two hours. It tells you everything you need to know to set up your own investment portfolio - including sources for obtaining the investments. Within one day you can have a safe portfolio that you'll never have to tinker with again.

It's called a Permanent Portfolio because once you set it up, you don't have to continually reevaluate it, alter it, or even think about it. And it doesn't matter whether next year brings prosperity, inflation, recession, or even a depression; you'll know you're safe - no matter what.

Over the past 33 years the portfolio has had only four losing years, and the worst of those (in 1981) brought a loss of only 6%. The average yearly gain was 9.5%

No matter how much or little your investment experience, this book will tell you what you need to know. Written Harry Browne's patented easy-to-follow style, sprinkled with his good humor, and with every detail covered, you'll never need another investment book after this one.

This 1995 book transformed so many readers into Libertarians and gave existing Libertarians the arguments and explanations that enabled them to convert their friends to Libertarian ideas.
This book demonstrates persuasively why government programs:
1) Have a failure rate over 99%.,
2) Never live up to their promises.
3) Too often do the exact opposite of what was promised for them.
4) Always cost far more than their initial estimates and
5) Create the conditions that justify enlarging themselves and adding more government programs.

The book provides answers to numerous questions that are sometimes perplexing:
1) Why so many people keep falling for political promises.
2) How America went from the land of the free to the land of government dominance.
3) Why new government intrusions always wind up hurting the innocent more than the guilty and
4) How to get people to give up their favorite government programs.

The book also offers some surprising conclusions:
1) How the civil rights laws have turned into a national nightmare.
2) How America has an overwhelming national offense, but practically no national defense.
3) How school vouchers could destroy private schools.
4) Why America has no missile defense after 20 years of the government working on it,
5) How government regulation makes your life less safe, and
6) Why every political complaint about our "free market" health-care system is a reason to get the government completely out of health care.

In addition, the book shows why the libertarian message should resonate with the young, the elderly, the poor, the rich, people of every religion, people on welfare, reformers, and even government employees. There are chapters on education, welfare, health care, law enforcement, the military, Social Security, family values, and the income tax.

There's a plan for freeing you immediately from the Social Security tax, without having to deny retired people what they've been led to expect. There's even a Freedom Budget - showing how the federal government could get by on just $100 billion a year, and how we can get from here to there quickly. Written in Harry Browne's patented easy-to-follow style, sprinkled with his good humor, and with every detail covered, this book is guaranteed to help you become a more persuasive salesman of liberty.

Harry Browne explains that Libertarians want you to be free - free to live your own life as you thing best. And he provides the ammunition you need to show people how much better off they'd be in a Libertarian America.

You've heard it all many times. "What would Libertarians do about Social Security - leave the elderly starving in the streets?" "How can we stop the drug problem without the War On Drugs?" "Healthcare costs will skyrocket without government controls and regulation - millions of people can't even afford healthcare now!" "Without government intervention corporations will choke the environment with pollution!"

You've heard these and many other misinformed rationalizations for bigger, more-intrusive, ever-growing government. A government that continuously strips us of our money, property, and freedoms.

Now Harry Browne answers back with The Great Libertarian Offer - a Libertarian plan of responsible, sensible solutions to today's political and social problems. With this book in hand you can show your friends, family, and associates:

1) How we can be free of the income tax, so you can keep every dollar you earn - to spend it, save it, or give it away as you choose. 2) How we can be free of the Social Security tax completely and immediately - without forsaking the elderly - so you can arrange a safe, convenient, prosperous retirement for yourself. 3) Why the insane War on Drugs is a war on you, on your liberty, on your property, on your family's safety - even if you've never used drugs. 4) Why your children should never have to fight or die in a foreign war. 5) How ending federal regulation will make products safer, increase your earnings, and lower the prices of what you buy. 6) How education without government will provide better schools for all. 7) How to reduce pollution dramatically by taking property away from the federal government. 8) How open borders enhance your standard of living. 9) 5 ways we can dramatically reduce crime by reducing government. 10) How getting the government out of health care will give you a longer life, more accessible medical care and low-cost health insurance. 11) How a Libertarian President can reduce government dramatically and enhance your liberty on his first day in office - without the consent of Congress. 12) How we can rally the American people to give up their favorite federal programs and accept a massive reduction in government. 13) 6 things you must know if you want to understand government. 14) Why the government's 3 "greatest hits" - the highway system, the space program, and disaster relief - are just three more boondoggles that cost far more than they're worth. 15) How today's "prosperous" economy is short-changing you. 16) The 5 principles that guarantee that the next government program will be a failure. 17) Why the Constitution provides your only protection from big government.

The American Dream requires freedom from government.
The Great Libertarian Offer will help us get there!

About the Author

SAMPLE QUOTES:
We have depended on government for so much for so long that we as people have become less vigilant of our liberties. As long as the government provides largesse for the majority, the special interest lobbyists will succeed in continuing the redistribution of welfare programs that occupies most of Congress's legislative time.
    Ron Paul, Congressman (R - Texas)
    Speech in the House of Representatives
    September 17, 1997

One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
    Thomas B. Reed, speech (1886)
    Cited in Infopedia's Merriam Webster Dictionary of Quotations.

Very few of those who maintain that it is sweet to die for one's country have ever done it.
    Saturday Evening Post editorial, 1941
    Quoted by Bill Kauffman, Liberty, January 1997, page 23.

All that is necessary for the triumph of waste and destruction is for good men and women to attempt to do good through the power and authority of government.
    Michael Cloud
    Email to Harry Browne, December 4, 2003.

Does the mere existence of evil somewhere in the world justify preemptive war at the expense of the American people?

Harry Browne’s Special Reports opened for business by publishing its first newsletter issue on December 24, 1974.

By the end of the 1970s Harry had come to the conclusion that forecasts were pretty useless.

He said, "If the world is running out of trees, it is because so many people have used so much paper to write so many words about so many inevitable events that never came to pass."

In March 1980, he wrote "Forecasting vs. Strategy," in which he said that profits come from a good strategy, rather than accurate forecasts. And as the decades progressed he became progressively more anti-prediction. And he published many full-length articles explaining why it’s impossible to predict human action — no matter how simple it may seem.

This book contains 16 of those articles that discuss Harry’s investment strategy. They contain perceptive explanations that debunk so much of what passes for investment wisdom — plus intelligent comments about life. Most of all, the main thrust of the articles is a step-by-step analysis of how you can deal with an uncertain world — without preconceptions or dogma.

These articles will remind you of something you learned a long time ago – that the future is unknowable. They will also reassure you that you don't have to rely on fortune tellers to deal successfully with any part of you life -- including your investments. And they’re written in Harry's patented easy-to-follow style, sprinkled with his good humor.

Although these articles were written in the 1980s and 1990s, they contain ideas that are timeless -- ideas that can help you today to separate sound investment advice from slogans masquerading as insight.
