Keith Knight joins me to discuss the Voluntaryist Handbook. This Handbook covers several prominent libertarian essays on topics such as: the deceptive tendencies of the state, the definition of the free market, the conflict of collectivism, and six questions for the statists.
Keith Knight is the organizer of the Voluntaryist Handbook. He is also the Managing Editor at Libertarian Institute.
