You are definitely wider read than I am - the books I would have listed are already on your list, and it includes titles I've never heard of. But for anyone interested in how Mormon doctrine and theology can support libertarian principles, there's Latter-day Liberty: A Gospel Approach to Government and Politics by Connor Boyack (his blog here).

Friedman, David:
machinery of freedom

Konkin, SE:
new libertarian manifesto http://agorism.info/NewLibertarianManifesto.pdf

Paul, Ron:
end the fed

Rothbard, Murray:
for a new liberty
man, economy, and state

you really are more widely read than me i have some catching up to do also i dont have links to much of this stuff so help there would be great.

[Soixante-Retard]

Ah! I forgot David Friedman's Machinery of Freedom - good choice. Thanks Mike and Doug for your contributions thus far, if you have any more don't hesitate to share them on this thread.

For Mike:

Friedman, David
Machinery of Freedom

Rothbard, Murray N.
Man, Economy and State with Power and Market
For a New Liberty

Unfortunately mises.org doesn't have Ron Paul's End The Fed. But, they do have Paul's Freedom Under Siege, the book he wrote for his 1988 presidential bid for the Libertarian Party.

Paul, Ron
Freedom Under Siege

I'll be reading that soon.

Being a left-wing market anarchist I`m not sure I`m even welcome here, but how would you guys like it if some small amount of left-libertarian books and articles were added to that list? Several of the authors I had in mind are roughly located around Lysander Spooner ideologically, so it`s not that much of a break with your general philosophy.

[mikema63]

its soxiantes list, but i think if you put left-libertarian above the links then it would be okay.

[Soixante-Retard]

@Happyhippo, We'd love to hear some suggestions from a left market anarchist. It wouldn't be Benjamin Tucker/Pierre-Joseph Proudhon that you're thinking of, by any chance? Provided you make it clear that it is from left libertarians.

@Mike, It's not my list, it's our, libertarian reading list!

[mikema63]

^ ok its our list

ive PM'd blue puppy to see if he found any geolibertarian books he could add.

[Soixante-Retard]

Geolibertarianism... That's something new to me - never heard of that before. I see it is the attempt at a fusion between Georgism and libertarianism.

[mikema63]

it is exactly that, minimalist government whose only source of revenue is on the land which no one can own, basically a use rent for land that is owned by all.
