Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Murray Rothbard is my hero.
Anything by Rothbard is great, for that matter. He is my ideological hero as well. |

Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks, but pure P2P networks are holding their own."

Nice.... Another sci-fi that makes for an interesting study of Anarchism is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DispossessedAlso worth a read is Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger. |

But... But.... I was going to read Spider & Starfish again today, and out of nowhere you throw a rothbard book on the history of banking at me in an instantly available .pdf? Not fair. Life can be tought... After reading that book, I recomend to read something from the free banking school (something from Lawrence Whilte or George Selgin, I personally prefer the style of the later), because IMHO its an advance on monetary theory from Rothard. Free banking is in my opinion the most important advance in austrian theory of the present day austrian schoolars. |

More political fiction: Alongside Night by L. Niel Schulman For the Non-fiction, I recommend The New Libertarian Manifesto. Most of the online versions have a typo in the first chapter which, once you know about it, really jars, So if you're not going to buy a hardcopy, let me know and I'll get you a good electronic one. |

The "Very Short Introduction" series is actually highly readable and not at all dumbed down (not comprehensive, but not dumbed down). I highly recommend
A VSI to Anarchism is excellent
--
Hardt and Negri's trilogy Empire / Multitude / Commonwealth is very good, though may be a bit too Marxist for most folks here
--
Ursula LeGuin's The Dispossessed is my favorite piece of anarchist dystopia/utopia fiction

"The Dominant Animal: Human Evolution and the Environment" Here's a quote from the author: "The scale of the human socio-economic-political complex system is so large that it seriously interferes with the biospheric complex system upon which it is wholly dependant, and cultural evolution has been too slow to deal effectively with the resulting crisis." http://www.amazon.com/Dominant-Animal-Human-Evolution-Environment/dp/1597260975 |
