@LibertyPen

Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your video's. Matter of fact in one way or another you introduced me to libertarianism through your videos of Ayn Rand, Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. That eventually led me a directly completely, that of Mises and the Austrian School. Robert P Murphy being one of my personal favorites. Thomas E. Woods is another great libertarian, hopefully you have some of his video's and works as well.

So many of our free market, intellectual giants are dead. Of those that are alive, so many are getting old and will not be with us for much longer. It fills me with great joy that we have among us, young men like Tom Woods, and Robert Murphy.

@Panpiper I'm 20, I'll get going on it

Great video! Very clear and informative.

Does the crowded subway argument really boil down to inconsiderate people boarding the train when all the seats are taken or is it linked to aging metro systems with limited capacity. I would think it was the latter, so under the private system, it's like to be worse as most people are forced to commute by train and do not do so out of choice.

@AustereAustrian Sorry that you feel inferior because you are dumb. No, Keynes is not god, but he is dead, and since he is no expert on urban development or planning, he is not actually relevant to this 'discussion.' Neither is Hayek, BTW...

[AustereAustrian]

@0scottweise18 what academics? what "professional historians"? I love that argument. I went to college so i'm smarter than you and the I can't make my argument so i invent people to make it for me. I love college kids, they're so braindead and brainwashed to the point where all it takes is a charismatic professor to convert them to statist orthodoxy. Let me guess, Paul Krugman is an economic genius, Keynes is god, and Mises is the devil? thought so

@0scottweise18 is there some kind of documented research to show that he is wrong? Id like to see it....

@jpbab00 (continued) why city parks run privately are so much cleaner, and nice than gov run ones.

[WingThaiJ]

@jpbab00 - I'd have to look up how the conducted business. For example, what were laws and how enforceable were they back then? Were their monopolies whereby people good squelch the uprising of competition? There is much to consider. In today's environment in which we still live in the realms of law, private ownership always does better, hence why the American Indians who don't take Gov assistance are doing so much better than those receiving assitance & freebees (continued)

Sounds like they are talking about the Defense Budget at the end :)...God I miss General Ike. I would argue that the private sector is greatly monopolized as well and hasnt been about customer service for some time...benefits of deregulation

[0scottweise18]

@greytale No, he said that Robert Murphy is WRONG and his argument in the "guide" collapses under careful scrutiny by academics and professional historians (actually, any first year undergrad who is taking an introductory course to urban development would be able to school him..). Not sure how you extrapolate "there would be garbage all over the place, de-railed / inoperative trains/trolleys/etc. if things were run privately?"
