This is probably a miss more than a hit.  I'm wondering if anyone's read De-Managing America by Richard Cornuelle.  It was first published in 1975.  It was one of the first books I read with a libertarian theme.  I couldn't find much about him except a few other books he wrote such as this one, and this article about him by Rothbard.  It seems, according to Rothbard, that he fell back into Statism.

Have to be honest and say I've never heard of him or his books.

Are they worth looking for and reading?

De-Managing America was interesting to read.  He made some good points, but it comes down to not micro-managing every part of your carreer or life.
