Title: Revolutionary Agorism ebook, Alongside Night
Post by: Andrew Bitcoiner on May 11, 2012, 05:11:14 PM
If you have not read this book I highly recommend it.  It is a story of how revolutionary anarchists (I know I know, don't laugh) undermine and destroy the fiat currency system by using gold for a currency.  I think in a modern context (it was written in 1979) bitcoin can be seen in the same light.

The political philosophy is fun but too bad it is such a terrible read.  I would recommend just reading Samuel Edward Konkin III's New Libertarian Manifesto (http://agorism.info/NewLibertarianManifesto.pdf) and then read some of Robert A. Heinlein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein)'s work such as The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
