About Frank S. Robinson

I am a graduate of NYU Law School, a retired New York State administrative law judge, and author of five books, including Life, Liberty, and Happiness (Prometheus Books, 2006, winner of the Spooner Award for “advancing the literature of liberty”), and most recently The Case for Rational Optimism (Transaction Books, Rutgers University.)

         I consider myself a rational optimist, a humanist, and more or less libertarian. My political philosophy is closest to the classical nineteenth century liberalism exemplified by John Stuart Mill (not to be confused with modern American “liberalism”).

         I am married to the poet Therese Broderick, with a daughter, Elizabeth. I’m in the business of buying and selling world and ancient coins.
