Description:

David D. Friedman's Home Page This is the home page of David Friedman. Not the Hawaiian artist David Friedman, or the composer David Friedman, or the fix-what's-wrong-with- government David Friedman (050) or the fifteen year old David Friedman or the eighteen year old David Friedman or the legendary film pornographer David Friedman or even the economic journalist David Friedman but the anarchist-anachronist-economist David Friedman. Now you know why I included my middle initial. This page has links to my work in a variety of areas, published and unpublished. It is still under construction — and always will be. I am hosting a virtual version every Saturday afternoon of the meetups I used to hold in my house for SSC readers. I now have audiobooks, recorded by me, available from Amazon: The Machinery of Freedom, Hidden Order, Future Imperfect, Law's Order and Harald (my first novel). I have now finished my book on legal systems very different from ours, with one chapter each contributed by Peter Leeson and David Skarbek, and published it on Amazon as both a paperback and a kindle. Interestingly enough, the kindle is selling more than twice as many copies as the paperback. There is also a podcast of the book being produced with my permission. David D. Friedman My second novel, Salamander, this time a fantasy with magic, and its sequel, Brothers, are up on Amazon as both print and kindle. (The map of the college where parts of both books are set.) Legal Systems Very Different from Ours , written by me but with one chapter each contributed by Peter Leeson and David Skarbek, discusses thirteen different legal systems, ranging from Imperial China and Periclean Athens to modern Amish and Romani. It is available in print and as a kindle, and very soon will be out as an audiobook. A late draft is webbed, including the footnotes omitted from the audio. Law's Order: What Economics Has to Do with Law and Why It Matters, published by Princeton University Press, is accompanied by a book web page which contains images of the entire book along with an extensive system of links — think of them as virtual footnotes — to additional material. An earlier draft is also webbed, in a somewhat more readable form but without the links. You can read both for free. It is available on Amazon as print, kindle, and audiobook. Hidden Order: The Economics of Everyday Life, is available on Amazon as print, kindle, and audiobook, read by me, and there are also German and Japanese translations. The audiobook is accompanied by a pdf showing figures, which don't work in an audiobook, and equations, which are hard to follow. There is a webbed video of my appearance on Book Notes discussing the book. Future Imperfect: Technology and Freedom in an Uncertain World, has a late draft webbed that you can read for free. All of one earlier book of mine, Price Theory: An Intermediate Text, is also available on the web, including the two chapters of the first edition that were left out of the second edition. An improved version is available on Amazon both in print and as a kindle. All of the second edition of my first book, The Machinery of Freedom: Guide to a Radical Capitalism, is now webbed, both as a pdf and as a MobiPocket e-book file. The third edition, with about a hundred pages of new material, is available on Amazon in print, kindle, and as an audiobook. I am recently retired from teaching at Santa Clara University in the Law School. My final semester I taught Economic Analysis of Law, and a seminar on Legal Systems Very Different From Ours. The web pages for both courses have links to video recordings of the classes and other relevant material. The pages for older courses, Legal Issues of the Twenty-first century, Intellectual Property Theory, and Analytic Methods for Lawyers, have audio recordings of the classes and related material. Spring quarter of 2020 I taught an adult education class at SCU on my Legal Systems book. My wife says that when someone points a camera at me I look as if was facing a firing squad. I am not sure if this (from at talk I gave at Texas Christian University entitled "In Defense of Anarchy") is an improvement. If you prefer color, this one was taken on a visit to Iceland some years back, and this was taken, and webbed, by Declan McCullagh. In October of 1997, I had a televised debate on encryption regulation with Ed Meese. The transcript is now webbed.
