5.0 out of 5 starsHow Is Order Created? NOT BY GOVERNMENT.
By Frances on September 2, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Do you think that only the state can create a market exchange? How is eBay like the Amsterdam Bourse? Do you believe that derivatives are a modern financial tool? Then prepare to learn. Ed Stringham weaves case studies in storytelling ways. He not only answers the above questions masterfully, but also makes the persuasive case that markets precede governments, markets help make people moral, and situations are more difficult just because of government.

Puts the lie to claims that only government can create order in society. Highly recommended for anyone debating this issue.

5.0 out of 5 starsA New Masterwork of Anarcho-Libertarian Thought
By Rob on January 4, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A masterwork, which will take its place in the canon of Anarcho-Libertarian thought, and which people will be referring to throughout the ages. A thorough and cogent examination of the relative merits of private justice, with a fascinating review of private justice systems throughout history, which has the power to advance conversations of these issues.

My sole complaint about the book is directed at Oxford University Press -- Why is the print so excruciatingly small? The manner in which this book is printed makes it very difficult to read, and if the content were not so fascinating might have led me to put it down. Please do a better job on subsequent printing. This material deserves a thicker volume.
