  • Re: Spoiler alert: Chavez just died

    Oh yeah, Chavez's family has about $2bill banked. So he obviously cared for the poor but managed to keep a little fee for stealing money from other folks. For that he sung them some nice songs: Don't think he was that special for Latin America.

  • Re: Pro-libertarian philosophers and anti-libertarian philosophers

    Sartre wasn't anti-libertarian. His whole work is about individual freedom. He dabbled with Marxism for a time, but it was really a mistake. I think he was closer to anarchism. Really, the only anti-libertarian philosophers are Hobbes, Hegel, Machiavelli, Plato, and Aquinas. Marx is not a philosopher, and even said so. What would be the evidence

    [quote]The 9-11 Story in 5 Minutes[/quote] Nice! I've posted this before but I think it's a good "wedge" to help get a toehold of doubt in the minds of "true believers" in the official 9/11 story: If I recall it rightly no plane flew into building 7, yet the building imploded?! What's the official excuse that it did implode

  • Why Low Minimum Wages Kill Jobs and Crush Living Standards for Everyone

    [quote]Why Low Minimum Wages Kill Jobs and Crush Living Standards for Everyone Contrary to right-wing propaganda, decent pay for workers helps the economy and boosts job creation. April 24, 2012 | Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, has introduced a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $9.80 from its present level of $7.25. Polls are showing

  • Re: Private army taking out a dictatorship and freeing people

    One might argue that a third party has the right to intervene to stop aggression in progress. Sure, but that also got his limits. [quote]I guess lots of trespassing will be involved as well.[/quote] Why do you think so? To take out the dictator efficiently your privat army would have to pass through lot's of land without owners consent for example

  • Re: Barry Smith, "Aristotle, Menger, Mises: An Essay in the Metaphysics of Economics"

    8. The theory of value is to be built up exclusively on `subjective' foundations, which is to say exclusively on the basis of the corresponding mental acts and states of human subjects.

  • Re: From Greek Philosophy to Swedish Serfdom

    Rather than keeping on the road we're on, I have a somewhat related question. Do you have any thoughts about tracking an influence of Meinong on Menger? He was a student of Meinong, I believe. I presume you mean Alexius Meinong. He wrote on Value Theory for example.

  • Re: Social Contract Theory

    Republican constitutions have historically been described as formalized proxies to the abstract idea of a "social contract". But would only be for grown up citizens entering into it voluntarily, right? Not a default contract for anyone hence.
