“എന്തുകൊണ്ട് സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം” an e-book published by CPPR is the Malayalam translation of  “Why Liberty”, edited by Tom G. Palmer There are 12 Chapters in the book, which are mainly written by younger people who are active in Students For Liberty, a very dynamic and exciting international movement. The ideas presented in this book are about an alternative view of politics: a politics, not of force, but of persuasion, of live-and-let-live, of rejecting both subjugation and domination.

Being a libertarian means not only refraining from harming the rights of other people, namely, respecting the rules of justice with regards to other people, but also equipping yourself mentally to understand what it means for people to have rights, how rights create the foundation for peaceful social cooperation, and how voluntary societies work. It means standing up, not only for your own freedom but for the freedom of other people.

This short book is an invitation to think about important problems in new ways. It is for those who come to the issues for the first time and for advanced scholars, both groups and all in between will benefit from these essays. They can be read in any order and no one essay requires that one read the other. The reader can dip into the book without having to read the whole thing.
