Let her listen to the first few podcasts in the 'Greatest Hits' in FreedomainRadio. Let her watch the 'Statism is Dead' series. Let her see Milton Friedman videos on LibertyPen youtube channel. Let her read Isabel Paterson's 'Humanitarian with the Guillotine' essay. If that doesn't work then you really have to resort

We have seen a Rothbardian social order before and its called non-state feudalism. It was the most libertarian social order mankind has ever had. State formation is due to the monopolistic tendencies of natural elites. The social contract between different defense agencies, over time, lose their voluntary aspect. This is necessary for the development

I'm always wondering why there are little articles or audio clips elaborating on 'Human Action' book itself. So far, I've only found 'Lost Treasures in Human Action' by Hoppe and 'Fundamentals of Human Action' by Gordon. Murphy's study guide is really helpful and so is the audiobook, but Human Action is a book that

So I then changed my strategy and started to mock leftists, pointing out performative contradiction like supporting socialism while using the facebook, w/c until now continues to entertain
