Practical Anarchy, Stephan Molynieux. Chapters 1-3.

I have edited the first three previously posted chapters of Practical Anarchy by Stephan Molinari. However, these are only formally three chapters; in terms of meaning, it is first a foreword, then an introduction, and finally some boundary conditions. I suspect that Molinari must be a very skilled lover, given such an approach to foreplay.

The style of the book is very lively and emotional, but somewhat overloaded. I tried to make it readable enough, and I hope I succeeded.

In the foreword, the author apologizes to the reader for daring to publish the book in open access, and for having the audacity to assume that the reader, having paid zero money, will devote more than zero time to reading it.

From the introduction to the first part, dedicated to methodology, the reader finds out that they are actually dealing with the second book of a trilogy, and also receives a new portion of authorial apologies—this time for the fact that the book will most likely cause some “butthurt.”

In the chapter on limitations, the author explains that he does not intend to describe in detail what color robes judges will wear under ancap, and generally would prefer the book to be perceived as a textbook rather than a handbook. Let us immediately apply this knowledge to the previously published chapters on dispute resolution organizations and stateless prisons.

There is still work to do on the previously translated chapters, but the completion of the draft translation is still far off, and your financial support could encourage the process. All details are before the table of contents.
