---------------------------------------------------- Week 8 of "Defending the Undefendable" ---------------------------------------------------- Getting close to the end of the book... Seems like maybe a lot of you are ready to be done with this... This week we come to the very last and final, Section VIII. Again we will read the entire section because its only about 30 pages long. Just pick up where we left off last week and finish the book. This is also a great week to sum up any conclusions you have come up with over the last 8 weeks. What did you guys think? ---------------------------------------------------- Week 7 of "Defending the Undefendable" ---------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the newcomers! I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to catch up and chime in so I waited a few days to start this week. This week we come to Section VII and will read through the whole thing because it's so short. It starts on page 197 (216 pdf) and ends on page 220 (239 pdf). Since this is a short week we'll be back to updating on Fridays.

Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------- Week 1 of "Defending the Undefendable" ----------------------------------------------------- Hey everybody! Hope you guys enjoyed the movie night as much as I did! If you haven't participated in that yet, then by all means your still welcome to go to that thread and comment on the movie! But now it's time to go back to hitting the books. This week, we will begin our newest selection, "Defending the Undefendable" by Walter Block. Here is a description from mises.org: Just read the table of contents and you'll see why we're so excited about this next book. We're going to slow it down a bit from last time, and only read about 30 pages a week instead of 50. If that's still too much I'll slow it down even more. But I think 30 pages is a fairly easy section of reading to do in one week. So this week we will start with the forward by Rothbard on page ix, (10 on the pdf file) and will read the end of page 23 (42 pdf). This includes the forward, introduction, and the very first section: "Sexual" The book can be downloaded for free from: http://mises.org/books/defending.pdf Or purchased from: https://mises.org/store/Product2.aspx?ProductId=136 Note: If your overly careful about your anonymity, and are vigilant about leaving 0 tracks anywhere on the internet, then I am sure you can find the book from other sources, for instance there are used copies on Amazon for less than $10. Personally I like to have a hard copy to read from, makes it easier than doing your reading assignments on a computer screen. Enjoy!
