Though certainly erratic — the country now has its seventh president in six years — Peru’s institutions had still managed to withstand a series of impeachment trials and other clashes between the executive and Congress.

A brilliant, moody, and independent spirit, Rose was eventually to become one of the most important voices of American liberty, and in 1943, publishedThe Discovery of Freedom, a pathbreaking book that helped spark the revival of interest in free markets and individualism in the later 20th century.Ironic, then, that she started out as a socialist.Lane grew up hating the life on the farm, and decided at an early age t...

We don ' t know what other role, if any,...
