Self-Reliance: Selections from Garet Garrett Edited by Bruce Ramsey
To Garet Garrett, the paleolibertarian who wrote for the Saturday Evening Post from 1922 to 1942, self-reliance was the value that marked an American. Self-reliance was what made liberty possible – and what made it worth having. It is a theme that runs through the latest collection of his work, Insatiable Government (2005), as well as three other Garrett collections in print: Salvos Against the New Deal (2002), Defend America First (2003) and Ex America: The 50th Anniversary of The People’s Pottage (2004).
