Yeah, having read a lot about the American founding, it seems to me he describes the founders as far more libertarian (in the modern understanding of the term) than they were.
It was very obviously biased writing about how the founders supported his exact ideology, and the American masses did too, but evil elites and their propaganda managed to trick people into statism
I think all you have to do is read the sections of the book as Bryan described and follow here for the next steps. Usually he will do a "my comments," "your comments" and "response to your comments" posts (maybe with the first two combined).
Reading the first chapter now, and honestly not very impressed. I hope his economics and moral philosophy are much better than his history.

Exactly. One of the few notes I made in the margins was, "Conspiracy, not history."
Its the book that made me anarcho capitalist. One of the best books written ever
Rothbard's book on the Great Depression and the role of the Fed is very good.
That was an amazing book when I read in 1981 at 17 years of age (followed by the also amazing The Machinery of Freedom).
What is the title of the first chapter of the the book?
Can I join the book club?
