Albert Jay Nock: A Gifted Pen for Radical Individualism| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty

"Despite the onslaught of wars and the relentless expansion of government power, individualism endures as a living creed, and Albert Jay Nock deserves considerable credit. He expressed fundamental issues of liberty with blazing clarity. He withstood withering criticism. He defied censors. He helped revive glorious names like Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Herbert Spencer. His moral conviction, cosmopolitan scholarship, elegant prose, and steadfast devotion inspired others to join the epic struggle for liberty."

I am enjoying my first read of anything by Albert Jay Nock, "Memoirs of a Superfluous Man".

Wish I would have had the chance to meet him.
