A reader sends the below links for anyone who wishes to nerd out on the birthday of the man who some call the greatest economist of the 20th century: Murray Rothbard.
Never heard of him?
There’s a reason for that.
Sometimes the establishment wants you to hear about the losers, the court jesters, and court economists who will doubtless serve the interest of the establishment.
To hear from someone who gives you recipes for success and freedom alongside basic principles for using economics to enfeeble government — well, the establishment doesn’t want that. They do not want you strong.
If you’ve never heard of Rothbard and have a favorite economist, I can almost guarantee you that your favorite economist is a buster, a court jester, a court economist, someone who will only take the argument so far.
That is not Rothbard.
Confined to a no-name school in an outer borough of New York for part of his career and then sent out to the deserts of Las Vegas to teach economics at UNLV for another portion of his career (the best American school that would accept this incredibly intelligent and prolific economist), the man was blackballed by academia for not having off limit topics.
In case anyone is wondering where I am going with these book readings that I keep brining up, it is probably something like this. . .
It was The Catcher in the Rye in February - boy was this an amazing week spent with fantastic readers reading a books with so much to say about our present times and all the phonies who want to pull the wool over our eyes and keep us lulled to sleep and enfeebled…
Frankenstein in March,
Shakespeare in April,
Fiction writing around totalitarians in May (I think I have already settled on those 4 books, but I’m still entertaining ideas)
I haven’t decided yet for June
And probably Murray Rothbard in July.
But Frankenstein first, Frankenstein is the next step — that starts next week.
Don’t hate me because I’m literary.
I want you wise. I want you prepared for the future. And I want the same from me. This year is a year to keep up the activism and to drill down into the studies — but not just any kind of studies, but studies that will prepare us for what comes next.
I want you strong.
I want you wise.
I want you to know the court sycophants when you see them and to be able to dissect them with ease.
I want you ready to see every lie and trick of the enemy for what it is.
Tag along on that journey and we will venture through the great works of the great minds and capture things that a lifetime of Youtube and Rumble and blogs and alternative news simply won’t offer you.
The format is different.
The wisdom is deeper.
It is a wisdom practically lost on our era.
Tap here to come along on that.
