The Sovereign Individual
Written in 1997, this remarkable book predicted the rise of cryptocurrency, the decline of nation-states, and the emergence of digitally-enabled individual sovereignty. Davidson and Rees-Mogg argued that the information age would make taxation and territorial monopoly on violence unsustainable. Bitcoin's inventors cited this book.
This is one of the most important works in the liberty tradition — essential for any serious student of free markets and individual rights.
