Dear Cenk Uygur, Supporting Government is Worse Than Supporting the Ku Klux Klan

by | Jul 30, 2021

Mankind is a mixture of good and evil, of cooperative and criminal tendencies. In my view, the anarchist society is one which maximizes the tendencies for the good and the cooperative, while it minimizes both the opportunity and the moral legitimacy of the evil and the criminal. If the anarchist view is correct, and the State is indeed the great legalized and socially legitimated channel for all manner of antisocial crime — theft, oppression, mass murder — on a massive scale, then surely the abolition of such an engine of crime can do nothing but favor the good in man and discourage the bad…..The anarchist view holds that, given the “nature of man,” given the degree of goodness or badness at any point of time, anarchism will maximize the opportunities for good and minimize the channels for the bad.

Murray N. Rothbard
Libertarian Forum v. 1, p. 536

https://youtu.be/8welI8CK50M Here, in a very simple summary, is what the Austrian theory says: 1) Interest rates can come down in two ways: a) the public saves more; or b) the central bank artificially forces them down. 2) Businessmen respond to the lower interest...
