A fantastic piece of obscure but important history

Revisado: 08-27-15

Would you consider the audio edition of A Century of Anarchy to be better than the print version?

I would say that the two should go hand in hand. I hope the Kindle becomes Whyspersynch enabled.

What other book might you compare A Century of Anarchy to and why?

I would compare it to "Beyond Democracy" by Frank Karsten, because they both challenge the legitimizing narratives used by states to justify their existence.

Which character – as performed by Timothy McKean – was your favorite?

Moresnet's "Minister of War".

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me very sad hearing the story of how Moresnet was eventually occupied and dissolved.

Any additional comments?

This is a short but important work that should be of interest to those who are interested, not only in history, but political economy and social change. In our present age of nationalism and increased centralization, Moresnet provides a stateless model for a decentralized, alternative future. Imagine a Moresnet with high speed Internet, Bitcoin and 3D printers!
