I’ve heard mix things about this book. Is it worth reading? I mean is it a must for an Anarcho-Capitalist? If not what book would be the definitive text on these subjects? Thanks in advance! [:D]
I’m reading this book now, whenever I have time from the official studies (currently working on a stats assessment). I was very surprised to find they had it in the University library at York (UK), together with a bunch of other books by Mises, Rothbard et al.
I plan to read Man, Economy and State by Rothbard (which I also took out here) over the winter holidays. And to answer your question: Defending the undefendable is more of an application of Austrian economic theory and libertarian ethics to various social scapegoats - it’s great to put things in perspective and help you escape from any societal prejudice you may have been exposed to.
If you want a comprehensive book dealing with anarcho-capitalist theory from its very axioms, then MES is probably your best bet. After which you could perhaps read the Machinery of Freedom by David Friedman (what I plan to read after MES).
Once again, I’m very surprised to find all these books in my university library 
Thanks for the input. And also finding those gems in your library may be a sign that we’re beginnig to be taken seriously in the academic circles, never know.
I’m curious to know whether any previous readers have made furious scribbles? [:P]
I wouldn’t really say it’s a must. From what I understand it builds on Rothbard’s FaNL.
As I see it, it’s more likely to be a fun read that a particularly informative one. Out of interest have you read Callahan’s book?
No I haven’t, would it be a better investment of my time to read his work first?
Yes, definately. It’s a great work, it’s easy to read and extremely informative.
Alright then I’ll check it out! [:D] I believe you mean “Economics for Real People” am I correct?
Yeah, that’s the one. It’s free in the site as PDF if you haven’t already seen.
Excellent!
