Which book are you reading this weekend? Would you recommend it?
This book set me on my track to becoming a libertarian (possibly even an anarchist). It's a great story, but with some great lessons on politics and freedom. Robert Heinlein is a great author.

One of the true classics!

Yup. Old but so good!

Really well-constructed arguments and points. Not much that most of us here don't know (at least in theory, if not all the specific examples), but her analysis of how one person giving up privacy impacts friends, family, and co-workers is impressive.
reply
Yes, short, snappy chapters. Focus on how to use mindfulness and meditation to lessen the burden of modern life pressures, like over-stimulation, stress

The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System by David Skarbek. It discusses decentralised governance in its purest form!
reply
Read part of this -- mind blowing as fuck. How did you run across it?
reply
I read The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates by Peter T. Leeson some years ago and I found a recommendation online that this book was similar.
The section on prison gang taxation is particularly interesting.

I'm not a fan of the opening, but I'm past it now. The things we do for things that aren't even love.

I only just started it but seems promising. Not many things better than having passive fiat income which can be swapped for the hardest asset on earth!
