there are a good bunch in this collection (bitcoin payments only) https://whitepaperbooks.com/collections/free-markets-anarchocapitalism

That's sad.

why?

Because they don't accept Monero payments.

Mises and Hayek are forerunners.

I thought they were Menger and the other two guys (I can't think of their names rn).

Of course, Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe

But, a deeper cut is Stephan Kinsella, who I think articulates the philosophy more clearly than anyone else.

He's best known for his work arguing against the validity of intellectual property, but he's written and spoken on pretty much everything.

Not bad. I've already read from all of the people you mentioned except Kinsella, so I'll look forward to checking him out.

Any specific works?

Intellectual property rights should be protected for at least some time if the person so wishes.

Give Kinsella's work a shot and see if you still feel the same way

He pretty thoroughly demolishes any case for IP, imho.

Rothbard, Mises, Hayek, Robert Murphy, Carl Menger. There are more great freedom-minded writers like Frédéric Bastiat and Ayn Rand but they aren't technically Austrian school economists.
