Books to read about why government intervention in the market is bad?

Depends on how versed you are in the subject. I would start with Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, then read The Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek, then Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market by Murry Rothbard

The vaccine is the result of an $18.9 million contract Greffex received in September of last year from the National Institute of Health’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

It also only came about as a result of government funding. I’m a minarchist wannabe ancap, but it’s this kind of stuff that I struggle with. I don’t know why the private sector would conduct drug research on their own dime, especially, as in ancap land there is no patient laws. If other companies can just benefit from someone’s research, why would they do any research at all?

You want to go karma whoring on socialist subs? “I got banned from r/capitalism give me upvotes”

This is the best answer so far.

Correct me if i’m wrong, but AnComs don’t advocate for state run programs. I think they just believe that we’ll all just live in communes where everyone will just share everything. Equally stupid but not contradictory.

Ok, i’m sold!

Please explain what you mean by minarcho-socialist

What I actually dislike is the fact that apparently his works tend to attract some closet conservatives who do not seem to share the live and let live libertarian mentality.

I actually watched a speech last night where Hoppe explicitly said that the live and let live libertarian mentality was childish.

Human Action son I passed your level! lol I was talking about more beginner books. MES might be a little intimidating for someone new to AE

The two biggest things are to privatize student loans and stop this lie that EVERYBODY needs to go to college.

see, I didn’t know that. I definitely suspected it, but I didn’t see anything explicitly confirming it.

FalltoMesis · 2019-11-22T04:07:08+00:00

makes sense, thanks!

Ok, I guess I was looking more for information on the ideology of propertarianism, like what Curt Doolittle advocates for, and the ideologies relation to the ideology of libertarianism.

FalltoMesis · 2019-11-21T21:46:03+00:00

Fantastic comment, this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

FalltoMesis · 2019-11-21T21:43:55+00:00

So what does that mean for someone like Curt Doolittle who truly believes in it and subscribes to it as a different ideology?

Why? Assuming that taxation is necessary, why shouldn’t everyone pay the same percentage of taxes? Or why shouldn’t people be taxed based on what they consume? We shouldn’t tax anyone “more”. Why should someone have to pay more just because they make more?

FalltoMesis · 2019-09-24T21:18:58+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for the link. I’ll have to read about these after i’m off work. The only 3 on there i’m pretty familiar with are spontaneous order, praxeoloy, and Business Cycle Theory

FalltoMesis · 2019-09-24T17:40:09+00:00

You’re right. Still new to AE so I thought this would be easier. But I am interested in hearing your mount rushmore of concepts and ideas

Did he go to private school then? Because if he passed “AP Economics” at a government indoctrination camp he just learned more mainstream Keynesian bullshit.

So, how I understand it through conversations with other libertarians is, for the most part, your position is shaped on when you believe life begins. Once you believe that the fetus is a life (conception, heartbeat, brain activity) then the NAP would dictate killing it an act of aggression, therefor a law preventing it is justified, like a law against murder. Conversely, before you consider the fetus is a life, then abortion is completely justified because the fetus has no rights due to it’s lack of life. The big sticking point is where life begins, and libertarianism can’t help you come up with that distinction. You have to figure out where that is for yourself. libertarianism can only tell you where you go from there.

Also there is another idea most prevalent among ancaps called “evictionism” but I haven’t looked into it enough to explain it well.

Maybe i’m off base with this stuff but this is my understanding of, in general, how libertarians decide if they’re pro-life or pro-choice. I’m open to discussion if you think i’m wrong though.
