thanks for posting this. I remember reading this book are quite a few years ago, but finding it not that helpful, and quite confused in places. I know that other people do rate it, however.

I just re-read this the other day. I recommend giving it a look. Meltzer makes a good argument for circumscribing anarchism.

I agree, Steven. It's nothing amazing, but given its short length and accessible style, it might prove useful as an introduction to some people.

Meltzer makes a good argument for circumscribing anarchism.

Well quite literally, what with all the weird little 'political compass'-type diagrams he and Christie did in Floodgates of Anarchy.
