Libertarian Absurdities in Literature and Politics

This chapter explores the quirky intersections of libertarian ideology with literature, particularly the unusual book 'Satan's Bushel' that centers on wheat farmers and critiques agricultural economics. It highlights the manipulative tactics of wealthy individuals in shaping public opinion and the intertwining of religious rhetoric with capitalist interests during mid-20th century America. Through humor and critique, the discussion unveils the absurdities of commodification, spiritual mobilization, and the evolution of witchcraft accusations into contemporary political strategies.
