I recently read an interview with Hans Hermann Hoppe about his new book “The Competition of Crooks."

Does anyone know where I can purchase this book in English?

I can't say where it is available in English, but here's a pretty good interview of Hoppe regarding the book:

Professor Hoppe’s new book: Der Wettbewerb der Gauner (“The Competition of Crooks”)

If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH

"There are two important works that have not been translated (and that have only been partially incorporated into my later English writings):

1) Kritik der kausalwissenschaftlichen Sozialforschung. Untersuchungen zur Grundlegung von Soziologie und Oekonomie
and
2) Eigentum, Anarchie und Staat. Studien zur Theorie des Kapitalismus
 
Both are currently out of print, but will be brought back into print in the course of this year by Holzinger, the publisher of my recent little book "Wettbewerb der Gauner. Ueber das Unwesen der Demokratie und den Ausweg in die Privatrechtsgeselllschaft."

..."The new edition will be in German only, and I am not aware of anyone interested in translations. There will be a new typeset and a new introduction and the former endnotes of the Kritik will be converted into footnotes."
 
— Hans-Hermann Hoppe
 
Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.

That second one Conza listed has an intriguing title...

"What Stirner says is a word, a thought, a concept; what he means is no word, no thought, no concept. What he says is not what is meant, and what he means is unsayable." - Max Stirner, Stirner's Critics
