I recently met someone who described himself as an anarcho-capitalist. I had never heard the term before so I asked him if he was some kind of anarchist. He replied that he was basically against coercive monopolies. That seemed pretty reasonable. Who would be in favor of coercive monopolies? He later recommended this book by David Friedman.

This book addresses all kinds of interesting topics such as the economics of how to privatize roads, the police, the courts, and even laws. I greatly enjoyed reading this book.

This book by Timothy Ferriss is subtitled “Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich”.

It’s a pretty interesting book with a number of fascinating ideas about how people can adjust their lifestyles. I think many of his ideas work.

The problem I had with the book is that it’s chock full of lessons in how to deceive people. It seems to me that the methods the author proposes would work just fine without the lies.
