Haven't really checked out his works though I have a general idea of what he'll say

I've only read Day of Reckoning, which is pretty good I'd say. If you don't mind the immigration-stuff.

Churchhill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War

I thought it was great!

I loved this one too.

I've wanted to read others, but haven't yet. So many books, so little time. :)

Read State of Emergency, where he takes on immigration.

I started really liking Pat when he had his show "Buchanan and Press" during the day on MSNBC. He never toed the party line about the war.

I love watching him nowdays give some young idiot blogger, MSNBC brings on, a history lesson.

Not as worthy as anything being sold by the Mises Institute...

None. :o

Primarily because I don't want to conserve the State as I've read books that actually address the issue and destroy the fallacies behind it.

But Pat is a good guy and I have no doubt they have value... just probably: "Not as worthy as anything being sold by the Mises Institute..." for the reason I stipulated above.

Another reason is they aren't available on the internet for free in pdf's, so you can see the content before buying. (Unlike some other institute books on a certain subject that only require a click of a button and you get access to the text) Why should I buy and read a book that will only deprive me of getting another book that I know doesn't have logical fallacies / premises contained within it? Unless someone would like to buy one for me to read? lol.

Which books on Anarcho-Capitalism have you read? Any author will do.


This is off-topic, Conza, so if you want to discuss this further, please take it to another thread. But, as I've told you before, I've read a couple of Rothbard's books. Amongst others from Mises.

You asked the question. I was answering it. If you didn't want an answer, then you shouldn't have asked a question. I know you've read a couple of Rothbard's books, and Mises - and as you ALWAYS do - you never state which ones. And I think we both know why. ;) It's not exactly a hard question.. c'mon now - intellectual honesty. :)
