The Real Magna Carta Ep. 58 [Liberty Weekly Throwback]

by | May 5, 2021

In 2018, when this episode was first published, the Liberty Weekly Podcast did not have a quarter of the following it now enjoys. There are a great deal of evergreen episodes from the early days of the podcast that did not get the listens I wish they did. Because I am completely gassed from moving this weekend, I thought I would publish one of them to see how it does with a larger audience. I hope you enjoy and thank you for listening to Liberty Weekly.

In this scholarly episode of the Liberty Weekly Podcast, I compare Lysander Spooner’s interpretation of the Magna Carta to the modern mainstream interpretation as told by leading British legal historian Ann Lyon.

This is the second entry covering Lysander Spooner’s essay “Trial By Jury.” Listen to the first installment here: Jury Nullification Ep. 56

Ron Paul has produced thousands of books, articles, speeches, debates, and smackdowns of truth reverberating through often empty Congressional chambers—the list goes on and on. Millions of people agree that Dr. Paul cured our apathy, taught us economics, inspired us...

Libertarianism and Metaethics

I was intrigued by a recent manifesto here at the Libertarian Institute, “Libertarianism Requires a ‘Subjective Morality,’” by Sean Dolan. The author boldly denies that libertarianism is “an objective, universal code that dictates right from wrong.” I believe that I...
