Review of 'Anarchy, State, and Utopia' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

First, this is a scholarly work and the writing is dense, so if you're going to tackle this one, be prepared to take notes (also, there are 35 pages of Bibliography and end notes, which may lead you to other books). Second, it was really interesting to find the source of so many common anarchist ideas of today in this book from 1974. As an anarchist myself for the last 25 years, I never really understood where some of these ideas came from. Lastly, it's a shame that Robert Nozick is no longer with us, because I bet he was a great guy to sit down and have a beer with.
