I waited a year before reading any online reviews of The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. My goal was to collect the feedback all at once so I could use it to improve the book and release an update. Let’s see what people thought: I spent a lot of time thinking about the title for the book.Continue reading “one-star reviews”

working with Michael Malice
In an earlier post I mentioned a number of people who helped create the Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. Conspicuously absent was Michael Malice, who mentored me through the writing and publishing process. He is getting his own post because I thought people would enjoy a little more detail about what it was like working with him.Continue reading “working with Michael Malice”

writing timeline for The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism
As a software engineer, I use a program called git to track the changes I make to source code files. So, when I started writing The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism, it seemed natural to use git to track changes to the book as I went along. I am glad that I did, because now I canContinue reading “writing timeline for The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism”

Dr. Howard Grattan invited me to be on the Honoring Ron Paul podcast this week to discuss The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism, Ron Paul, and the connection between the two. It was great reminiscing about Ron Paul’s presidential campaigns, the good times we had promoting libertarianism, and the friends we made along the way.

The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism audio book
I am excited to announce that The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism is now available as an audio book on Audible. I had considered narrating the audio book myself. I even recorded the first few chapters. After listening to my recordings, though, I decided to find a professional. I’m glad that I did. Madeleine Brolly produced theContinue reading “The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism audio book”
book layout with Scribus
I used the free, open-source layout program Scribus to design the interior of The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. It took several hours to learn but, after that, it was a pleasure to use. There are already good tutorials available for how to do book layout with Scribus, but I thought it would be helpful to describeContinue reading “book layout with Scribus”
Word Cloud book visualization
I thought it would be fun to visualize The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism as a word cloud, so I wrote a little script to produce one. Here is the result: I was a little disappointed that the words freedom, liberty, and capital were not more prominent, but it’s my own fault for using other words moreContinue reading “Word Cloud book visualization”
ebook file format conversion
While writing The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism, I made heavy use of the excellent Calibre software suite to create and view ebooks. Specifically, I used the ebook-convert program to generate .mobi and .epub files. Then I used the Calbre ebook viewer to check the results. On Ubuntu you can install Calibre with the following command: sudoContinue reading “ebook file format conversion”
