dbpprop:abstract
  • Isabel Paterson was a Canadian-American journalist, author, political philosopher, and leading literary critic of her day. Along with Rose Wilder Lane and Ayn Rand, who both acknowledged an intellectual debt to Paterson, she is one of the three founding mothers of American Libertarianism. Paterson's best-known work, her 1943 book The God of the Machine, a treatise on political philosophy, economics, and history, reached conclusions and espoused beliefs that many Libertarians credit as a foundation of their philosophy. Her biographer Cox (2004) believes Paterson is the "earliest progenitor of libertarianism as we know it today. " Ayn Rand wrote in a letter in the 1940s that The God of the Machine "does for capitalism what Das Kapital does for the Reds and what the Bible did for Christianity".

  • Insieme a Rose Wilder Lane e Ayn Rand, è una delle fondatrici del Libertarismo americano. Il suo lavoro più famoso, il libro The God of the Machine, un trattato di filosofia politica, economia e storia, espone idee che gran parte dei fautori del libero arbitrio pongono alla base della loro filosofia. Il suo biografo Cox (2004) la considera "la prima progenitrice del libertarismo come lo conosciamo oggi”. Ayn Rand scrive in una lettera negli anni quaranta che The God of the Machine "ha per il capitalismo lo stesso valore che Das Kapital ha per i Rossi e la Bibbia per i cristiani".
