Murray Rothbard: The Civil War and Its Legacy (American Economy Lecture #1)

[SovereignStatesman]

As usual, Rothbard is long on detail, short on key issues.

Here, the key issue is the national sovereignty of the states, which placed their right of secession beyond question-- i.e. if they were sovereign, then there was no question regarding their right to secede.

This is the lone issue which has been suppressed in history from academic consideration, and Rothbard ignores it right on cue.

This is key, since these details are as inevitable under absolute power, as water in the Marianas Trench.

".......quiet!........." Murry N Rothbard in class brilliant. He tells a great story. I could listen all day. .......(And often do).

[heyheymonkees]

@chazarilla2

when does he say this word? pause it when he says it and look at the time clock to get the exact place in the video when he says it.

[phroto13]

@chazarilla2 the word weirdo is from weird, the translation is a mix between un loco o una persona o algo muy extraño o muy raro, casi es algo sin precedencia o tradiccion. espero que lo comprendas

Rothbard is a genius. This lectures begs to be played many times until people learn the truth. Carry on Mises!!!

[trekkerperson]

I only wish I could download it to my brain to speed up my economic and historical consumption. Great stuff, Rothbard just rocks.

Chris,

Is this on mises media? Wanted to listen today at work but they block all media and iPhone doesn't want to stream for 2 hours strait. Thanks. (searched but could not find)

[minnesotachris]

@n0us3rn4m3s4v41l4bl3, the link to the lecture series on the Mises site is in the video description.

Sorry about the flippant remark. This economic view of the history is essential to understanding today. Our ancestors mostly came over as landless peasants. Here was an opportunity to become more, of course at the expense of the land occupiers who didn't even have this concept in their culture. So here we are, relatively free compared to the rest of the world. Now the banksters want it all back, the land, the labor, the real wealth, all. Slapping us down is the highest priority for them.

That smokers cough is because he has been smoking his own belly button lint.

[phantomcharger]

Geezs, 2 hours, this is like homework

[residentzombie]

Most important homework you can do.

[madmaxit2]

Wow, he sounds like Jay Leno!!

The big difference is he's not joking about Sh%$ !!

Thanks for posting!

[JETZcorp]

I would love to see what Murray Rothbard would do with Jay Leno's car collection. Imagine that goofy old economist with his bow tie and such, cruising down the freeway in a Lamborghini Countach, muttering to himself about how much better the road would be if it were private. Oh, that would be great.

[Betty5150]

Rothbard is definitely related to woody allen.

[dieyoung]

[enotdetcelfer]
