Today would have been Murray Rothbard‘s 97th birthday. It also happens to be the three year anniversary of the Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. To celebrate, I’m releasing a free PDF version of the book.

Discernable
Matt Wong invited me for an engaging, hour-long interview on Discernable. We covered a wide variety of topics including anarcho-capitalism, when to be afraid of technology, and what Michael Malice is like off camera. If you make it to the end, Matt asks me for the best argument against libertarianism and, admittedly, there is aContinue reading “Discernable”
Libertarian Scholars Conference 2022
I was invited to speak at the Libertarian Scholars Conference this year and gave a short presentation on The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism. Here is the video: Afterwards, Walter Block suggested that instead of describing actions as ethical or unethical, I should describe actions as being legal or illegal under a libertarian system of law. IContinue reading “Libertarian Scholars Conference 2022”

The Bob Murphy Show

I didn’t find much data to help me level-set, so I thought it might be useful to others if I published my own data. The upshot is that I sold about 1,000 copies in the first year,Continue reading “sales data”
one-star reviews
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”
