Hey everyone!
I finally wrote my first non-fiction book: The Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism.
Available here: https://amzn.to/3gVuTn2
It's the culmination of 15 years of activism and study within the libertarian-Voluntaryist spectrum.
It's NOT a history book.
It's NOT a summary of other's works.
It's NOT just a bunch of pull-quotes.
This is my unifying the fields of property rights and consent ethics theories into a universal philosophy that anyone can readily relate to and defend.
By the nature of the work, it will be challenging in many ways because it introduces a new basis by which to framework WHY one would want to uphold property rights and consent ethics.
You'll be surprised, intrigued, and provoked to deeper investigation in the process.
But, unlike many other libertarian works, I've distilled the concepts into the minimum description needed to get people to understand the basics and their applications.
That makes it accessible for anyone, whether you're a seasoned Misesian or are new to libertarian thought.
No matter what, I just hope you enjoy the ride and that it at least sharpens your thinking in the process.
Cheers to us and your kind support, from helping me refine my thoughts in conversation to getting your own edition for the liberty bookshelf!
SYNOPSIS: What does it mean to be a principled Libertarian Voluntaryist? Despite decades of scholarship and popular growth, few people can articulate with succinct precision what it means to identify as one. With this book, author Jack Lloyd condenses the big-picture ideas of individualism into a uniform philosophy that anyone can read and apply for themselves. His special insights gained from 15 years of research and engagement in libertarian culture will leave you with a sense of clarity on how the philosophy of property rights and consent can create a robust guide for ethical human action.

Congrats on publishing your book, that is a great accomplishment! Any way I could order a copy from you directly with crypto? I just dont use Amazon due to their anti-privacy/freedom facial recognition service and their contracts with law enforcement.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I don't have a direct order option unfortunately as I do not have the bandwidth to do fulfillment on demand. I will be offering them when I do tabling and it is possible that another online company may offer it down the road.
Ah ok, no worries. If you do start offering it direct or from a new site in the future, feel free to reply to any comment of mine to let me know and I will purchase it.
Did you use Amazon as the publisher or are you just selling it through them?
Thank you! Amazon is the publisher because they have the best system for self-publishing. I understand not wanting to support Amazon, but Amazon's services are also empowering me to share with others how to get rid of Amazon's cronyism with the state. ( :
Ah damn, I may be mistaken but I dont think they allow you to put it on other platforms if they are the publisher. Thanks anyway.
I do get it though, as an author you are put in a hard spot since Amazon has cannibalized so much of the book market. I plan to publish my own book eventually and I am sure I will sell 10x less books not being on Amazon, but I have accepted that reality already, I plan to market it on a podcast that I will be building up for 2 years before publishing.
