The Praxeology of Privacy

About this book

Max Hillebrand's treatise argues that privacy is structural to human deliberation and exchange, and that observation is the precondition of state predation. It joins two traditions, Austrian economics and the Cypherpunks, framing its case around three axioms (Mises on action, Hoppe on argumentation, Voskuil on resistance) and pairing them with working code for Bitcoin privacy, CoinJoin, PayJoin, Lightning, Tor, and encrypted messaging.
