This blog will be used as a live blog. I will start with Discovery of freedom by Rose Wilder Lane and hope to go on with more, almost, forgotten literature focusing on liberty and philosophy.https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/blogs/nhaag/atom.aspxCommunity Server2009-02-16T08:29:00Z/blogs/nhaag/archive/2009/02/16/the-discovery-of-freedom-live-blog.aspx2009-02-16T08:50:00Z2009-02-16T08:50:00Z<p><strong>Man&#39;s struggle against authority</strong></p> <p><strong><em>by Rose Wilder Lane</em></strong></p> <p><em><strong>&nbsp;</strong></em>I came across this book pretty late on my journey to liberalism&nbsp;and it struck me like a lightning.

Her very basic idea is that everything is energy. There is living energy, we call life, and there is dead energy like storms, earthquakes and the like. Living energy constantly struggles to survive, fighting against dead energies and other living energies as well. Survival is a question of circumstances and own efforts. It is the struggle of living energy.</p> <p>Wilder Lane starts her book with the chapter called &quot;The Situation&quot; where she lays the foundation for her argument. She develops it in the following parts in an easy to read, yet, sound way.</p> <p>I will start to read the book again, page by page, and live blog a summary of each chapter including comments and remarks.</p> <p>Let&#39;s see what the outcome will be.</p> <p>I hope, it will help at least some to get aquainted with one of my most adored libertarian author, Rose Wilder Lane.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/aggbug.aspx?PostID=90615" width="1" height="1">nhaaghttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/members/nhaag/default.aspx/blogs/nhaag/archive/2009/02/16/rose-wilder-lane.aspx2009-02-16T08:29:00Z2009-02-16T08:29:00Z<p><img style="width:131px;height:171px;" height="171" alt="Rose Wilder Lane" width="92" align="left" src="http://whigrevolution.com/images/lane.jpg" /></p> <p>Rose Wilder Lane was one of the highest paid writers in the United States during her days as a journalist, war correspondent, and novelist.
