mmafan,
I have to say, I’m in the same boat. His book is a fun theoretical thought experiment,, but the real world applications are tough to swallow. Now, ideally, it would seem this is the best system, but the practicalities are tough to explain in full by one person. This reminds me of a passage in “For a New Liberty” (pg. 242) where Rothbard explains that it’s not the individual’s jobs to explain every facet of this society to the minute detail, but rather to lay the foundation for the rest of society to use its power of cooperation and innovation to expand upon it.
