I just did a search on both of those books and “libertarians” doesn’t show up. It wouldn’t make sense for it to be in a Foundation book anyway, since those are science fiction books set in the distant future and don’t mention contemporary political movements directly.
The book was already identified in this thread, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Foundation. It’s a compilation of a bunch of non-fiction magazine articles. Why are you still beating this horse?
You’re clearly an idiot so I’m not going to continue this thread any further, except to make it clear that my position is that Foundation is a science fiction series set in the distant future where a passage like this one, where the author voices an opinion on a contemporary political movement (naming it directly rather than using some sci-fi equivalent for it) would be completely out of place. I don’t know what you think my “outlandish stance on government in the series” is, and at this point I don’t care.
Foundation bro. Probably “foundation” or “prelude foundation”.

Foundation goes over government heavily dude, like very heavily.
The government of a space empire so far in the future that humans don’t even know what planet they originally came from anymore.
Correct, governmental systems don’t change that much.
Similarly the reader does know since robots - empire and foundation are all one contiguous series.

Hence the modifier “probably” being included, it doesn’t change your outlandish stance on government in the series.

Libertarianism isn’t at all new unless predating Germany is new to you.
