Rossetto is also a longtime libertarian who knew Friedlander personally. <\/p>\n<p>While still an undergraduate at Columbia University, Rossetto co-authored a 1971 cover story in the <em>New York Times Magazine<\/em> titled &#8220;The New Right Credo \u2014 Libertarianism,&#8221; writing that &#8220;[l]iberalism, conservatism, and leftist radicalism are all bankrupt philosophies,&#8221; and &#8220;refugees from the Old Right, the Old Left and the New Left, they are organizing independently under the New Right banner of libertarianism.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><em>Reason<\/em>&#8216;s Nick Gillespie sat down with Rossetto to talk about his new book (the paper version was lavishly designed and crowdfunded on Kickstarter), the 1990s tech boom, and why Trump &#8220;diminishes the power of the state&#8221; in our heads. <\/p>\n<p>Interview by Nick Gillespie.
