Or, would doing so betray fundamental Jewish values? Running in Good Faith? Observant Judaism and Libertarian Politics considers the seemingly irreconcilable values and political commitments of Judaism and Libertarianism. The latter prizes individualism, self-ownership, private property, and freedom, whereas the former emphasizes community, charity, and service of God. This book seeks to determine if we find here an essential clash, or merely an apparent one. This book stimulates a broad discussion of Judaism, values, politics, and political philosophy and calls into question what people think they know, about both Judaism and Libertarianism.Political scienceUnited StatesfastAmerican politics.Elections.Ethics.Judaism.Libertarianism.Political Philosophy.Politics.Religion.Theology.United States.Values.Political science.895.134Krinsky Alan D.1675696Rabbi Aryeh Klapper, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829149203321Running in good faith4041390UNINA
