| | '''''Achieving Freedom''''' is a book by [[Stefan Molyneux]]. It was preceded by ''[[Everyday Anarchy]]'' and ''[[Practical Anarchy]]''. Only the first part of the book has been released so far. In the part of the book that has been released, Molyneux challenges the view that academia, religion, and politics will lead to a reduction in the size of government. The book offers arguments and evidence that supports this criticism. The book also examines why people are resistant to the philosophy of liberty. Molyneux has written the next part of the book and is expected to release it some time in the near future. This part of the book will deal with the actual process of achieving freedom. |

| The original American experiment was at least intellectually founded upon the ideal of creating a government by and for the people, with the express knowledge that the state was a dangerous servant and a terrible master.

| It is hard to think of other examples in history where so many checks and balances were placed upon centralised political power – and it is also impossible to think of a more dangerous and powerful government than the modern American leviathan.

| | |
| The abysmal failure of such a noble experiment should give all moralists pause.

| | |
| If the smallest possible government has grown into the largest conceivable government – within a few hundred years – it is hard to imagine what kind of theoretical system could conceivably control state growth in the future.
