Anarchy, State, and Utopia
Robert Nozick/1974
Anarchy, State and Utopia is most certainly not a book I read for the entertainment value since it's a book on the subject of political philosophy, but I read it because it seemed very interesting, which i found out, after I'd finished reading it, that it was. Here's wikipedias description of it's contents, since I can't write a better one: "Nozick argues in favor of a minimal state, "limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on." When a state takes on more responsibilities than these, Nozick argues, rights will be violated. To support the idea of the minimal state, Nozick presents an argument that illustrates how the minimalist state arises naturally from anarchy and how any expansion of state power past this minimalist threshold is unjustified."
I'm not gonna give this one a score but what I will do at least, is tell you that I thought he had some very interesting ideas in it, both on Anarchy and what would come after, that I liked a lot. It'll take someone serious on the subject to read it though, since I guess it can seem like a heavy read for the average joe.
