In chapter 3, the writer speaks of "values". Mathematics yields values.

Humans have BELIEFS and not values. This work seems to be a fail out of the gate.

The reader of the audio version speaks too fast. And he talks as if he's angry or shouting.

He is the worst choice for this project.

I'm listening to the audio version now — it's good, but I wish so many of these works did not assume an atheist, as well as evolutionist perspective as a basis for its arguments. In addition, this book throws an objectivist morality on top — the opposition to voluntary charity, which I think is totally uncalled for.

There are many people in this country who believe in God as the basis for morality, and even more who believe voluntary charity is good — to intentionally disclude them from a work attempting to promote liberty is counterproductive.

I myself am a Christian, but were I to write a pro-liberty work, I would certainly not use a belief in Christ as the basis for my reasoning.

That said, I'm greatly enjoying the bulk of the book, which supports and explains a voluntary society — it is excellent.
