Episode notes

Rothbard and Hoppe have become mimefied among the far right online youth. What's their influence? Does it extend beyond an online fringe? And I guess I could ask the same question more generally in terms of your thinkers to what degree are their aspirations, the aspirations of most capitalists?"

Featuring Quinn Slobodian on Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy. Radical libertarians, including anarcho-capitalists like Murray Rothbard, envision a world of micro-polities governed by private property and contract. In fact, we already live in their world, a world of zones—places where special rules tailor-made for capitalists prevail over the ordinary laws of the nation-state.
