Hans-Hermann Hoppe's "Democracy: The God That Failed" critiques democracy, arguing that it is inherently prone to inefficiency, corruption, and ultimately, the destruction of private property rights.
Human Action is Ludwig von Mises' magnum opus, where he defends an a priori foundation for praxeology and methodological individualism. The book argues that the free-market economy outdistances any government-planned system and serves as the foundation of civilization. Mises explains complex market phenomena as the outcomes of countless conscious, purposive actions and choices of individuals. He critiques government attempts to regulate and control economic activities, emphasizing the futility and counter-productiveness of such interventions. The book is a systematic treatment of the whole body of social and economic relations, integrating various economic problems into a comprehensive system[2][4][5].
In this book, Rothbard presents a comprehensive case for libertarianism, arguing that state power is unworkable and immoral and should be curbed and eventually abolished. He draws on natural law, natural rights, Austrian economics, American history, and the theory of the state to make his case. The book begins with an analysis of American history, highlighting the libertarian roots of the 1776 revolution. Rothbard then discusses the philosophy and ethics of freedom, justifying the central axiom that no man or group of men may aggress against the person and property of anyone else. He also outlines a strategy for achieving liberty, emphasizing the importance of educational efforts and building libertarian institutions from the ground up.
In this influential book, Hayek argues that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism leads to a loss of freedom, the creation of an oppressive society, and ultimately, the tyranny of a dictator. He challenges the view that fascism and Nazism are capitalist reactions against socialism, instead positing that these ideologies share common roots in central economic planning and the empowerment of the state over the individual. The book emphasizes the dangers of collectivism and the importance of maintaining a free market system to preserve human freedom and dignity.
Bridget sits down with Curtis Yarvin, political theorist and writer formerly known as Mencius Moldbug. They discuss the road that brought Curtis to this point, his debate with Ilya Shapiro, whether capitalism requires democracy, whether oligarchs are more concerned with the outcomes of power rather then power itself, the Arab Spring, debating “isms”, why he believes the most peaceful and stable form of government is the monarchy, the truth about revolutions, why he’s selective about his conspiracy theories, the Great No, the power of the executive branch, and why all Libs are basically conformists.
