Here are the first endorsements I’ve received for the book: “A wonderful selection of first-rate essays on one of the most important principles of civilized life—cooperating with people instead of controlling, taxing, dragooning, bullying or bombing them. Bravo, Skyler Collins!” – Lawrence W. Reed, president, Foundation for Economic Education. “This book contains a very useful,…

On to the Introduction
Everything is done editing/formatting/typesetting-wise on the book. I’ve written a first draft Introduction, but will likely scrap most of it and start over. I only have one more permission-to-reprint to secure. I’ve also decided to add an Index and depending on how many endorsements I can secure, an endorsement page in the front, with high…

Employees produce far more when they are treated as mutual traders than when treated as feudal slaves or livestock. My favorite self-quote when employees ask me what to do: “I…
In Defense of Voting
This is not an official endorsement of the strategy of voting, but the below has certainly caused me to rethink my position. Our first foray into the topic of voting was made by Spencer Morgan. Here’s our next: I’ve heard many good arguments in opposition to voting. The arguments were so compelling that I adopted…
The Vision is Everything
So I go to the future. I think – I am so happy to live in a world without slavery in the way that it used to exist — I’m so happy to live in that world – and the first people who started talking about there being no slavery, were like us… And the…
Second-class Human Beings
When kids make mistakes, even a mistake as simple as being annoying around the wrong person, they are either yelled out, cursed, slapped, spanked, or caged (often a mix of several such reactions) by their parents. In other words, they are treated as second-class human beings, undeserving of unconditional love and respect by regular human…
