Has anybody read "Eden Against Colossus" by Misesian-Randian and futurist Gennady Stolyarov II? It's 446 pages so I want more reviews of it before ordering a copy. http://rationalargumentator.com/eac.html Here's the brief description: In the year 2753, after unparalleled technological and economic advancement within the Intergalactic

He'd do the same thing Mises would have done. Resign! Libertarians need to learn the lesson of the Lord of the Rings. You cannot defeat power by power. I highly recommend everybody read Stefan Molyneux's "How NOT to Achieve Freedom". It will dash your hopes of achieving liberty through activism and politics. After that read "How

I'd like to commend you for your effort in making a narration of Bastiat's "Government" essay. I thought you'd like to hear my suggestions and criticisms.

Does anybody here read literature on the Immanuel Kant vs Ayn Rand debate on epistemology? Is Rand an empiricist in the sense of Locke and Hume? I would think that her individualism is influenced by Locke's tabula rasa, all men are equal in the sense that they are born a blank slate and are differentiated through interaction with the environment

By labor reallocation you mean government acting like a college placement office? Well, there are a lot of problems with this. For one, the government cannot know who the right person is for the right job. It is best if the firm and the worker come together on their own terms without a middleman (government) messing around.

Let's have non-Austrians this time. I nominate Wikileaks founder Julian Assange , coolest looking one too. I've heard Stefan Molyneux's show is growing very rapidly.
