I just finished up Rothbard's Ethics of Liberty and was trying to figure out where to go next. The discussion of law in Ethics got me kind of interested in that, so I was thinking about Hayek's Law, Legislation and Liberty though I was also thinking about reading Theory and History next, What do you guys recommend?

"What do you guys recommend?"

Not Hayek's book.

I'd recommend you check out Hoppe.

Ron Paul is for self-government when compared to the Constitution. He's an anarcho-capitalist. Proof.

Indeed, I read Democracy: The God that Failed  fairly early in my coming to the Austrian position and quite enjoyed it.

Definitely go with Theory and History.

Well done. In that case, Anarchy and the Law

Thanks for the replies. I think I will get those two, Anarchy and the Law looks especially interesting.

Definitely Law, Legislation and Liberty. An advance over Constitution of Liberty.
