For the affirmative:

David Friedman, An American economist, legal scholar, and anarcho-capitalist theorist, author of six non-fiction books, many articles and three novels. His most popular book is The Machinery of Freedom: Guide to a Radical Capitalism.

For the negative:

Gene Epstein, In 2018. Gene stepped down from a 25-year stint as Economics & Books Editor at Barron's Financial Weekly, where he wrote a widely-followed weekly column called "Economic Beat."
