If David Friedman wanted to convert me into anarcho-capitalism with this book he failed at his task.
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.… (más)

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.
