Anarchy, State And Public Choice

by Edward P. Stringham (Editor), Gordon Tullock (Contributor), Jeffrey Rogers Hummel (Contributor)

The book reprints the main articles from the 1972 volume Explorations in the Theory of Anarchy, and contains a response to each chapter, as well as new comments by Gordon Tullock, James Buchanan, Jeffrey Rogers Hummel and Peter Boettke. The younger economists are notably less pessimistic about markets and more pessimistic about government than their predecessors. Much of the new analysis suggests that private property rights and contracts can exist without government, and that even though problems exist, government does not seem to offer a solution. Might anarchy be the best choice after all? This provocative volume explores this issue in-depth and provides some interesting answers.

I haven't read anything more complicated than this.
I'm still not sure how half of the equations in this were derived, but I'm sure if I put my effort into understanding some of it, I'll get more out of it
