Paul Coulam finds errors by Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard and David Friedman in an attempt to patch together a workable libertarianism, with a surprise twist ending!
The Contradiction in Anarchism.
By Robert J. Bidinotto. An excellent critique of the fundamental problems of libertarian anarcho-capitalism and its premises.
