Libertarianism—the philosophy of government that pairs free market economics with social liberalism— presents a vigorous challenge and viable political alternative to the old Left-Right partisan shouting match.

Libertarianism offers surprising new solutions to stagnant policy debates over issues such as immigration and civil rights, and provides a framework for tackling contemporary problems like privacy, the environment and technological change.

In The Libertarian Alternative, Chris Berg offers a new agenda for restoring individual liberty in Australia, revitalising politics and strengthening our sagging economy.


Chris Berg is a columnist with ABC's The Drum and has been published in major papers in Australia and internationally. He is a senior fellow at the free market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs and is one of Australia's most passionate voices for free markets and individual liberty.
