It's a very shallow article, as one would expect. Most committed liberals (in the classical sense of the word, NB that in the US both parties are liberal by this definition) can't conceive that there are any problems created by liberalism that might be addressed via illiberal systems, and therefore give both left wing and right wing critics very little hearing.

Despite not being a libertarian or (non-ironic) monarchist at the time, I found this to be an interesting and thought provoking book:

It argues for monarchism as a better alternative than democracy for libertarians. The premise, on it's own, is interesting enough and the author makes quite a case for it.
