# BOOK LAUNCH! # The Praxeology of Privacy v0.1.0 Now Available I'm excited to announce the publication of **"The Praxeology of Privacy: Economic Logic in Cypherpunk Implementation"** - a complete manuscript bridging Austrian economics with cypherpunk cryptography. ## What Is This Book? This work proves that **privacy isn't just a preference—it's an economic necessity**. Through rigorous praxeological analysis, it demonstrates that privacy is logically required for rational economic action, property rights, and voluntary exchange. ### The Core Argument I develop a **Three-Axiom Framework** showing how: - **Privacy enables economic calculation** (building on Mises) - **Privacy protects rational discourse** (extending Hoppe) - **Privacy provides resistance tools** (following Voskuil) The result? A systematic proof that surveillance systems create the same calculation problems as socialist planning, while cryptographic tools restore the conditions necessary for free markets. ## Why This Matters For too long, privacy advocates have relied on moral arguments while economists have ignored cryptographic innovation. This book bridges that gap, showing that: - **Cypherpunks** gain rigorous economic foundations for their tools - **Austrian economists** discover how cryptography solves fundamental problems - **Everyone** learns why privacy is essential for human flourishing ## What's Inside ~70,000 words across 21 chapters covering: - Economic logic of digital signatures and zero-knowledge proofs - How surveillance destroys market discovery processes - Cryptographic property rights and enforcement mechanisms - Practical framework for building parallel economies - Original theoretical contributions to both traditions ## Download Now **Complete manuscript available in multiple formats:** - Light/Dark PDFs for reading - Summary collection for overview - Text-to-speech optimized version - Individual chapters + full archive 👉 **Download here:** towardsliberty.com/pop ## The Best Part This work is **100% public domain**. Copy it, share it, sell it, modify it—whatever helps spread these ideas. ## Next Steps - **Researchers**: I welcome feedback, critique, and collaboration - **Educators**: Use this material in courses and discussions - **Practitioners**: Apply the framework to evaluate privacy technologies - **Publishers**: Contact me about formal publication opportunities I would love to get some serious review before we print the first batch, so please reach out with critique and improvement proposals. This represents a couple years of research connecting two intellectual traditions that desperately needed each other. I believe it's the first systematic praxeological analysis of cryptography—and hopefully not the last. **What do you think? Does this framework resonate with your understanding of privacy and economics? Do I make any logical flaws?**
