I’m very much looking forward to reading Brian Doherty’s book, Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern Libertarian Movement. The New York Sun reviews it here, and the New York Post, here. The Sun review is by Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic, one of of my favorite magazines. I didn’t know Shermer was a libertarian, though I knew he was a former Objectivist.
I’ve known Brian since we attended an IHS seminar together in 1988. What, no comp review copy, Brian? Glenn Reynolds got one! Trivia note: Also attending that seminar was future Weekend Today Show anchor and Katie Couric sub Jodi Applegate, whom all the guys developed a crush on.
UPDATE: And the second most famous person attending that seminar was future Federal Election Commission Chairman Brad Smith.
