Book is intended to be a friendly, easy intro to economics. It made a real attempt to be easy, and there was a sense of humor, but it was too hard for me to follow without putting in a lot more work than I was prepared to give. Read about 50 pages and it was clear it wasn’t gonna get any easier.
I’ve read a couple other of his books, and enjoyed them.

Very interesting subject matter, but the book is very rough around the edges - needed better editing I think.
An amazing book about a variety of legal systems from different places and times, and analysis by a brilliant professor of how they deal with certain universal challenges. Especially interesting when he proposes using some of these elements to solve problems in our current legal system - crimes committed by the government, malicious prosecution, certain crimes and torts which are expensive to prosecute, and patent trolls.
One area he didn’t touch much is the ability to use technology to make some of these ideas real — transferable torts would work great with cryptocurrency, and while he mentioned conventional video surveillance (via David Brin) he didn’t mention how structured agreements could include instrumentation and metrics to either self enforce or make judicial enforcement easier.… (altro)

I'm not only not convinced that it is a viable idea for a functioning society, but I believe in it less as a result of reading this book.
It's not all bad though. The author touches upon some interesting aspects of the an-cap society I haven't read about before.
The book is organized very poorly. The chapter order is very incoherent, different portions of the book feel like separate entities not connected to one another, like a random stack of excerpts from different books.
Overall, not impressed. In case you are an anarcho-capitalist and want to share your philosophy with someone, this is not the book to recommend to them.… (altro)
