Michael Malice comes to libertarianism more from a Randian perspective, and Tom from a Rothbardian one. Michael recently read The Betrayal of the American Right, Rothbard's part-history, part-autobiography. The resulting conversation is really excellent -- possibly my favorite Malice appearance yet.
Thanks!
No problem.
Rothbard’s ideas on economics are dead-on, but his anarchist theory is just not workable.
OTOH, I find a lot of value in Rand’s work, but her militant atheism bothers me.
Both have good points and bad points.
I grew up with Tom. We weren’t actually friends but we’re in a lot of the same classes starting in middle school.
Very proud of him!
We’re = were

Always entertaining and informative.
