Ordinarily, I keep anonymous my correspondent’s names on this blog. Not this time. Jakub and I are old friends, and friendly sparring partners (we disagree on evictionism, abortion, see below, but virtually nothing else). I highly recommend this important new book. This young man will make important contributions to An-Cap theory. No. I take that back. He already has!!

Subject: The Economics of Law, Order, and Action
Dear Walter,
I am pleased to announce that my book “The Economics of Law, Order, and
Action: The Logic of Public Goods” – which you kindly reviewed and recommended for publication – is now available for purchase from Routledge https://www.routledge.com/The-Economics-of-Law-Order-and-Action-The-Logic-of-Public-Goods/Wisniewski/p/book/9780815367871.
If you by any chance can’t recall its subject matter, here is a brief
synopsis: The primary purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive challenge to the standard position of the economic and political mainstream, according to which efficient production of so-called public goods, including law and defense, requires the use of territorial monopolies of coercive force. In other words, in an attempt to draw on the interdisciplinary spirit of classical political economy, it aims at providing a wide-ranging economic and ethical case for extending the applicability of voluntary, entrepreneurial cooperation to the realm of creating and sustaining legal and protective services together with attendant institutional frameworks.
In this connection, I was wondering if you might be interested in mentioning it and linking to it on lewrockwell.com blog, your personal website, and/or any other relevant outlet that you have access to. The price is typically “academic”, but perhaps your endorsement will encourage Austrian-leaning students and scholars to ask their institutions to purchase some copies.
Best wishes and thank you in advance for any help in this matter, Jakub
