The July issue of “Liberty” is now on the stands. Its most prominent feature is a symposium of 25 authors, including many leading libertarian intellectuals, each of whom recommends the books that he or she believes other people ought to read.

Among the other interesting articles are a report by Randal O’Toole on current trends in urban planning and their malign effects, a memoir by a Maine state legislator on his life as a libertarian in public office, and a review by Jo Ann Skousen of Lisa See’s book about the outward oppression and inward freedom of women in China.
