In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, I welcome in Lew Rockwell, editor of LewRockwell.com, founder and chairman of the Mises Institute, and author of Against the State: An Anarcho-Capitalist Manifesto. Lew describes how his politcal views first developed. and how Murray Rothbard would later influence him towards his current beliefs. Lew and I then delve into the concept of anarcho-capitalism. Lew explains just why he is an anarcho-capitalist, and why he is “against the State.” Lew and I go on to discuss how the concept of government jives with anarcho-capitalism, how it affects participation in politics, and Lew answers the question “Is Ross Ulbricht a hero?” Stay tuned for my wrap-up rant, where I gives my thoughts on anarchism and how to best achieve a more free society.
