The message conveyed by "Death of Common Sense" today is definitely considered Libertarian. Essentially the author makes a case for the removal of detailed laws to allow for personal responsibility to reassert itself. He notes that it is the public's fear of corruption that has led to a government whose actions are stymied by procedures. The book is a little dated now, notedly in the examples, but the topic is still current.
