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.

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.

The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism

Today, I’m releasing a new book called The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. It explains what libertarianism is and how to use it to solve ethical problems. It is different from most books on libertarianism, though. First, it is narrative non-fiction. It weaves the ethical theory into a story for a little flavor. If you prefer dryContinue reading “The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism”
