Running in Good Faith?

<p>Could a religiously observant Jew in good conscience run as a libertarian candidate promoting a libertarian platform? Or would doing so betray fundamental Jewish values? <em>Running in Good Faith? Observant Judaism and Libertarian Politics </em>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. But are these differences so sharp? This book seeks to determine if this is an essential clash or merely an apparent one and to stimulate a broad discussion of Judaism values politics and political philosophy in order to call into question what people think they know about both Judaism and libertarianism. </p>
