David Friedman LIVE: Harald & Salamander

Date: 2015-01-15

Lovers of liberty know David Friedman as an incredible economist and legal theorist, especially as author of the anarcho-capitalist masterpiece The Machinery of Freedom. What many don't know is that Friedman is also a novelist, with two fantastic works of fiction under his belt (and hopefully more to come). His first novel, Harald, was released in 2006 (audiobook, Amazon), and the second, Salamander, in 2011 (Amazon). Both books, while intriguing on their own as works of fiction, also bear the clear markings of products of Friedman's careful genius, with precisely thought-out social systems that exhibit many themes libertarians will certainly find interesting.
