informative reflective medium-paced

A lot more enjoyable than I was expecting. There’s definitely parts that sound dated / don’t age very well. But in many places Rothbard manages to come across both more radical and more nuanced than many of his libertarian contemporaries at the time.

This book is the antidote to both shady right-wing crypto hype-men and uninformed leftist tech criticism. A solid explainer of blockchain, its related technology, and their egalitarian and liberatory potential.
