Preface by George H. Smith and Marilyn Moore.

Individualism is one of most criticized and least understood ideas in social and political thought. Is individualism the ability to act independently amidst a web of social forces? A vital element of personal liberty and a shield against conformity? Does it lead to or away from unifying individuals with communities?

The Libertarianism.org Readers series provides an introduction to the major ideas and thinkers in the libertarian tradition.
