just listened to The Sovereign Individual (audiobook, because i am NOT a book person and adhd makes sitting still with pages feel impossible). still hit me harder than almost anything. the whole idea of actually finding sovereignty and freedom while this world keeps turning into a totalitarian dumpster fire… then monero, and this whole monero economy that just exists outside every border. it clicked. feels like getting handed a scissor blade for the system. need more audiobooks like this. linked a free pdf. if anyone knows a free audio version or has recs, pls share them. stuck on audible for now.

Mises has a nice curated collection of free audiobooks on similar topics: https://mises.org/library

Added a few knowledge search engines to the ~Library description:

Need to re-read that one. Its been a while. Love the book. Continues to be relevant. Nailed the prediction of anonymous digital money (monero), and AI (autonomous agents). Two subjects im balls deep into.

I started a thread a few yrs ago with some of my favorite quotes as a read through:

the anonymous money part and the autonomous agents part are what made it feel less like an old book. i do not use x, but those are all my favs too! thanks. i will send this to friends and relatives who use it.

amazing. I have a great roster of books reviewed in various places, but Sov Indi I never really cracked.

Might return to it this winter

There are many good books on archive.org
It takes some times to find the books but definitely lots of gems. Can we share pdf on Stasher? I’m new here so not sure what I can do or not

reply

This is the information people need to find on Stasher!

Think this is the right copy.

oh thanks that is cool! i already listened to sovereign individual, but other people will appreciate this. for new books i would rather not use audible so it does not track me.

read how to be free in an unfree world by harry browne. If you get. Epub format from annas archive any book can be audio book wirh readERA from app store

reply

this title kinda reminds me of those self-help books and therapists who are just like 'accept this shit' i may still try it. hope it is not that. but if it turns into acceptism i am out.

reply

Almost everyone who reads this book feels the same: "scissor blade for the system" (love the analogy!)
I’m one of this book’s converts too :)

Need to run now. Bookmarked (and upvoted!) your post: I’ll add more books and free read/listen resources and reply here so you get the notification.

Also saw you found the link to my newsletter #338472 ;). You will find a couple of audiobook recs there, right after this line:

BTW, I read most of my books that do not contain formulas in audio format while I run/exercise, so here are links where you can listen/download audio (hint: you CAN download audio from YT ;) )

Sound familiar about audiobooks lol? ;))

thanks. i started bastiat from your link and it is cool, but more boring than sovereign individual. i liked your article and the one you posted today too. upvoted that one too.
