Libertarian Fury: Discussing Rose Wilder Lane, with Professor David Beito

In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz is joined by Professor David Beito for an exploration of the life and ideas of Rose Wilder Lane, one of the “founding mothers” of modern libertarianism. Beito, a historian with extensive work on Lane, T.R.M. Howard, and the New Deal’s encroachments on civil liberties, delves into Lane’s fierce advocacy for individual freedom, her philosophical journey, and her impact on the libertarian movement. This episode unpacks Lane’s remarkable legacy and the enduring relevance of her ideas in contemporary debates about liberty and government power.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
