Episode notes

When the Cold War ends, Rothbard gets really excited about all of the neo-nationalist movements. He thought that the indigenous populations had no claim on the land because of their quasi communistic way of organizing life. So he's thinking about what in the past and the present might still be a beautiful and viable model of political organization. UKIP born exactly in that, in that time and out of that same spirit as well that the Tories had gone too far to the center and so needed to be outflanked again from the right.

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.
