| Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT: Isabel Paterson is the founding godmother of the libertarian movement, known best for her book The God of the Machine, which Ayn Rand credited for having done "for capitalism what the Bible did for Christianity." Often overlooked is her twenty-five-year career as a literary columnist for the New York Herald Tribune. Culture and Liberty: Writings of Isabel Paterson, edited by Stephen Cox, presents a selection of those columns along with private letters and other essays. They are a treasure. Paterson’s critical performances show us a systematic yet unpredictable mind at work—a model not only of the first but also of any future libertarian worthy of the name. |
