The Hobbit Party: The Vision of Freedom That Tolkien Got, and the West Forgot is a book proposing that J.R.R. Tolkien's views on economics, liberties, and state structure are presented in his novels The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. It was written by Jonathan Witt and Jay Richards and published by Ignatius Press in September 2014.
- "Several books ably explore how Tolkien's Catholic faith informed his fiction. None until now have centered on how his passion for liberty and limited government also shaped his work, or how this passion grew directly from his theological vision of man and creation. The Hobbit Party fills this void.
The few existing pieces that do focus on the subject are mostly written by scholars with little or no formal training in literary analysis, and even less training in political economy. Witt and Richards bring to The Hobbit Party a combined expertise in literary studies, political theory, economics, philosophy, and theology." - —The publisher
