Political Entrepreneurship and the Economics of Wealth Destruction | Thomas J. DiLorenzo

[@ea2631]

listening to the mises channel recently has been like stumbling onto a massive untouched gold deposit. I have been a libertarian for about a year and a half (from a self described war hawk neocon). Listening to the speakers over the past few days has grown my reading list four fold, and I am actually happy about it. Thanks mises U.

These professors are so cute when they use that ancient projector. A very good lecture! Thoroughly enjoy listening to Professor Di Lorenzo

Those stripes are bugging me out a bit. 14:52 Try that in an anarcho-capitalist society where there are companies with private armies going to war. I have had to argue that sort of thing. In the market, you have to eat the cost of everything bad you can get away using the state. Its always great to listen to this guy.

Just finished "How Capitalism Saved America" last week. Excellent book. After reading that book, Donald Trump is sounding strikingly similar to the 19th century Republicans who advocated for high tariffs and import quota's. Mercantilism was the term in the book used to describe these anti-free market politicians and political entrepreneurs. I highly recommend the book if you are interested in the history of capitalism in America.

Why do libertarians all have such bad handwriting? (myself included)
