The Ethics of Liberty with Ryan McMaken
Mises.org editor Ryan McMaken joins the show to tackle some of the toughest and most controversial chapters of Rothbard’s groundbreaking treatise The Ethics of Liberty. McMaken and Jeff Deist cover abortion, the rights of children, defamation, and all the “what ifs” contained in lifeboat situations. They also move into Part III of the book, where Rothbard pulls no punches concerning the nature of the state, its internal contradictions, its anarchic relationship to other states, and its inescapable role as predator and parasite. This is a can’t-miss episode for anyone who questions the role of government in society.
