I really enjoyed the dialogue between the three theories of government. I have some quibbles with some points he makes, like on conservativism, and self-ownership being a necessary foundation of private-property, likewise I&#39;m not sure I agree with some of the observations he notes, like democracies averting war. However, Jan is easily one of my favourite&nbsp;political philosophers and overall I think rationale contractarianism&nbsp;is a much more solid foundation for libertarianism than many alternatives.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/343318.aspxMon, 28 Jun 2010 06:20:05 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:343318Giant_Joe0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/343318.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=343318<p> Hey people.</p> <p> I just had the pleasure of being given a presentation on regulation by Jan Narveson. I was able to chat with him. Very interesting guy, and from what I can tell, knows his political philosophy quite well.</p> <p> I just picked up the book &quot;You and The State&quot; (review here): https://mises.org/misesreview_detail.aspx?control=364</p> <p> I&#39;ll be reading this sometime soon and possibly putting in my 2 cents. (I still have to read some game theory books before I get this one done!)</p> <p> Has anyone else read this book? Have anything to say about Jan?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
