My opinion of Whitman, Emerson and Thoreau just improved a thousand percent. I never knew anything about their political positions so am quite happy to find out such prominent men were fully on board with a laissez faire government. I had known generally (from Ayn Rand) that 19th Century America was the closest humanity had come to ever having a proper government, but this is terrific to get some history and details of just how the intellectuals and the people of that time thought about government and tried to put those thoughts into practice.
