(2003-07-01) Rossetto Libertarianism

Reading about Gary Wolf's Wired Mag book led me to this article by Louis Rossetto from the Ny Times Magazine from 1971: "The New Right Credo - Libertarian-ism". The birth of the New Right occurred when libertarians finally accepted the fact that they had been abandoned by the liberals, used and misled by other radicals and sold out by the conservatives... Another important feature of the New Left program was the advocacy of "ParticipatoryDemocracy." The formulation of this concept was an attempt to reconcile the contradictory aims of an all powerful state and a responsive state.
