Shorter-Length Libertarian/Anarchist Books

Miscellaneous General
1

I have The Privatization of Roads and Highways, Defending the Undefendable, a few others on a to-read list, but it’s rare lately that I have time to get into a long book regarding one subject while being able to take notes and all.

What are some books about libertarian/anarchist theory that are shorter in length? Maybe 100-200 pages or so. I’m interested in pretty general topics right now (i.e. homesteady, law, etc.)

This may also be good for some people new to libertarianism who won’t want to get into a 500-pager right away.

Chaos Theory - Murphy

3

How’s the section on private law? I’m working on that right now for my senior thesis, so that should be a good resource.

4

I strongly recommend Anatomy of the State by Rothbard. Short, concise, to the point.

5

The Obviousness of Anarchy and the Myth of the Rule of Law are two excellent essays on private law.
