For politics try Political Power, Political Decay by Fukuyama

>>9590975
"Its lengthy argument can be summarised in a single sentence: without the prior establishment of a well-armed and functional territorial state, and without an independent judiciary responsible for overseeing the rule of law that robust state power then makes possible, modern liberal democracy simply cannot happen."

This seems a little too pointy to be an introduction to something, but maybe I'm just not read up on the subject enough to know that different books state different theses?
>>9590969
I'll look that up, cheers

>>9590969
Something droll in an ancap reading list that recommends stealing books.

>>9590952
WoN, then Kapital, then Piketty.

>>9590969

This isn't necessarily "AnCap" :/

I studied economics. I cannot stress how important it is to start with an undergraduate economics textbook, rather than with lists of outdated philosophical texts and polemical meme books that characterise these threads.

>he only ever read snippets of TWoN

>>9590969
Okay, but how does it feel being the dumb child of Enlightenment political philosophy?

>>9591199
Add After Piketty, it reviews, critiques, and expands upon his arguments.

>>9592546
Undergraduate work has significant limitations my dude, especially now when neoclassical orthodoxy and previously held assumptions are being questioned.

>>9590952
Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Rudin
Advanced Macroeconomics by Romer
Microeconomic Theory by Green
A shitton of NBER working papers

If you are willing to go back as far as Smith and the Enlightenment, might as well check out Anders Chydenius, too.

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell is fantastic, even though he sidesteps the problems with inflation.

Still, a great introduction and dispels with many of the misconceptions people hold.

>>9590969
This is really great, but I'm quite biased as a lolbertarian.

>Viking Age Iceland
Can someone explain why this is here?

If you can argue yourself out of the Ancap methodology and conclusions, you will be a god amongst men.

>Medieval Iceland was unique amongst Western Europe, with no foreign policy, no defence forces, no king, no lords, no peasants and few battles. It should have been a utopia yet its literature is dominated by brutality and killing. The reasons for this, argues Jesse Byock, lie in the underlying structures and cultural codes of the islands' social order. 'Viking Age Iceland' is an engaging, multi-disciplinary work bringing together findings in anthropology and ethnography interwoven with historical fact and masterful insights into the popular Icelandic sagas, this is a brilliant reconstruction of the inner workings of a unique and intriguing society.
