# 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

## 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?**

Great to see you get this project over the finish line!

Lowery's arguments are methodologically flawed. There's a reason why austrian economics is so dominant in the bitcoin space

Haha fair play, i do think if it wasn't such an obvious ux detractor we would have seen it on fb and twitter
