[11] PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

NLM.Pre.1.1		The basic form of New Libertarianism arose during my struggle with the Libertarian Party during its formation in 1973, and Counter-Economics was first put forward to the public at the Free Enterprise Forum in Los Angeles in February 1974.  New Libertarianism has been propagated within and without the libertarian movement and its journals, most notably New Libertarian magazine, since then.
NLM.Pre.1.2		More importantly, the activism prescribed herein (especially Counter-Economics) has been practiced by the author and his closest allies since 1976.  Several “anarchovillages” of New Libertarians have formed and reformed.
NLM.Pre.1.3		Just once, wouldn’t you like to read a manifesto that’s been practiced before it’s preached?  I wanted to.
NLM.Pre.1.4		And I did it.
		—Samuel Edward Konkin III October 1980
