Noticing that all of the online versions are incorrect, I decided to start putting the book up on my website.

I'll finish uploading it after this semester ends.

(I'll also try to finish uploading The Market for Liberty at that time.)

Wonderful, Alex! Please do send a shout here again when all this is done.

[Theodore Minick]

Agreed! Keep us posted.

How is this not correct?

Yeah, I'm curious too. And how is the one at agorism.info not correct?

I'm glad you're doing this Alex. The weirdness of all of the online versions make it hard to recommend.

For those who don't know what I'm referring to, look very early in any online copy of the book (except for Alex's) and read from I. Statism: Our Condition. Quotes to follow.

Black Crayon version:
"Diffuse coercion is optimally handled by local, immediate self-defense. Though the market may develop larger-scale businesses for protection and restoration, random threats of violence can only be dealt with roots of mysticism and delusions planted deep in the victims' thinking, requires a grand strategy and a cataclysmic point of historical singularity: Revolution."

Agorism.info version:
"Diffuse coercion is optimally handled by local, immediate self-defense. Though the market may develop larger-scale businesses for protection and restoration, random threats of violence can only be dealt with roots of mysticism and delusions planted deep in the victims' thinking, requires a grand strategy and a cataclysmic point of historical singularity: Revolution."

Alex Peak's version:
"Diffuse coercion is optimally handled by local, immediate self-defense. Though the market may develop larger-scale businesses for protection and restoration, random threats of violence can only be dealt with on the spot ad hoc.

Organized coercion requires organized opposition. (An excellent case has been made many times by many thinkers that such organization should remain skeletal at best, fleshing out only for actual confrontation, in order to prevent perversion of the defenders into an agency of aggression.) Institutional coercion, developed over the millennia with roots of mysticism and delusion planted deep in the victims’ thinking, requires a grand strategy and a cataclysmic point of historical singularity: Revolution."

The audio book Alex links to is read by Ian Freeman of FreeTalkLive.com and FreeKeene.com. I highly recommend it.
