What the hell do Leibniz, Descartes and the properties of matter have to do with usury? That's what I hate about these damn Larouche videos, they cant stay on topic. Larouche sucks you in with a good title like "the religion of usury", "Cheney: the beast man", "The British Empire: The New Tower of Babel", then all you get is some crappy history of 17th century scientific theory.
You've got to be kidding me. Hamilton was in favor of mercantilist policies here in America, and his inspiration was the British Empire, i.e. Bank of England, etc. Likewise, Adam Smith's book was revolutionary because it advocated exactly the OPPOSITE of England's economic policies of mercantilism. Who was this guy's economic history teacher? He's attacking mercantilism and trying to pass it off as laissez faire. Ideologue and propagandist are words that come to mind.
A very good point. If it's so important for us to be "thinking" when reacting to the world around us, I would suspect LPACTV to be Objectivists, since they advocate reason. But I suspect the purpose of this false dichotomy is to avoid the question of Natural Rights by establishing the "need" for interventionism in economy and world affairs without even acknowledging the opposite view. It's a cheap tactic to dismiss a point they'd rather not address.
ding ding ding ding...the first tell tale sign of a statist?....the false dichotomy. right off the bat he equates doing nothing with not thinking. not true. the real dichotomy is between thinking for oneself and letting government nudnicks do the thinking for you. nobody is saying don't think. just b/c somebody says 4 GOVERNMENT to do nothing, doesn't mean that they are advocating 4 NOTHIN 2 B DONE AT ALL. there are other people believe it or not that can do things beside the government.
Sad to see that there has been less then 200 viewers, I think this is one of the best of LaRouche TV videos. I like the certain messages of sobriety in it.
This is a disgusting fascist fail.

as a history major I can tell you you are wrong on both points here. I'm not a LaRoucher, but he is right there.

Your historical methodology is highly dubious.
