The Revolution: A Manifesto

Paul’s surprise bestseller, written during his 2008 presidential run, lays out his political philosophy in plain terms: constitutional limits on government, non-interventionist foreign policy, sound money, and civil liberties. He argues that America’s two parties have converged on a big-government consensus and that a return to founding principles is the real radical position. Compact and heavily cited, it became an unlikely movement text, especially among young readers drawn to its consistency across left-right lines.
