Podcast appearances and mentions of Murray Rothbard

https://youtu.be/uVSz93KXms4 El socialismo no ha muerto, sino que ha evolucionado su discurso para adaptarse a nuestros tiempos. Ya no se presenta con los términos clásicos de "dictadura del proletariado" o "lucha de clases", sino que se ha renovado bajo conceptos aparentemente benignos como "equidad", "inclusión" y "justicia social". Sin embargo, como advirtieron pensadores como Ludwig von Mises y Friedrich Hayek, su objetivo fundamental permanece intacto: sustituir la libertad individual por el control colectivo.Esta transformación no es solo cosmética, sino estratégica. El socialismo contemporáneo ha desplazado su campo de batalla de la economía hacia la cultura, redefiniendo conceptos morales fundamentales y torciendo el lenguaje para emborronar los límites entre lo justo y lo injusto. Al exigir "justicia social", lo que realmente se está pidiendo es que el Estado corrija las decisiones libres de los individuos, limitando así su libertad.El nuevo socialismo opera negando la validez universal de la lógica y fragmentando la sociedad en grupos identitarios. Lo que antes se dividía en clases sociales, ahora se segmenta por raza, género u orientación sexual, trasladando la lucha de clases hacia nuevas categorías. Bajo esta perspectiva, no importa la argumentación o la verdad, sino la fidelidad al dogma colectivista.Como señaló Murray Rothbard, los socialistas han ganado terreno porque piensan estratégicamente y a largo plazo. Mientras las fuerzas del libre mercado se enfocan en la producción económica, la izquierda ha infiltrado sistemáticamente la cultura, la educación y el lenguaje, redefiniendo los valores morales de la sociedad.La única forma efectiva de combatir este fenómeno no es cediendo terreno o negociando con sus premisas, sino desenmascarando su verdadera raíz moral: el autoritarismo. El socialismo, más allá de ser un modelo económico fallido, representa una sociedad basada en la sumisión, el miedo y la obediencia. Frente a esto, debemos defender una visión clara de una sociedad libre, donde nadie imponga cómo pensar, qué decir o qué elegir.La batalla cultural actual no se trata solo de criticar el colectivismo en todas sus formas, sino de promover activamente un modelo superior: una sociedad fundamentada en la libertad individual, la propiedad privada y la responsabilidad personal.****

How do we define liberty? Hayek saw it as the absence of most (but not all) coercion, but that depends upon how one defines “coercion.” Murray Rothbard believed that Hayek was too willing to accept forms of coercion that were anti-freedom.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/meaning-coercion-hayekian-philosophy

En 1972 Murray N. Rothbard publie « L'éducation gratuite et obligatoire ». Aux Etat-Unis le rôle de l'Etat dans l'éducation fait alors l'objet de débats animés : le homeschooling est en vogue parmi les hippies et cette génération de boomers est décidément sensible à toute forme d'autorité et de contrôle.Cinq décennies plus tard, la faillite de l'Etat dans cette fonction qu'il a monopolisée est sans appel. À défaut d'instruire la population, il l'a crétinisée, homogénéisée dans la médiocrité. L'Etat a exigé et obtenu de professeurs toujours plus désabusés qu'ils renoncent à leur réelle vocation : transmettre à chacun les savoirs fondamentaux pour apprendre et développer un esprit critique tout au long de sa vie. Au lieu de cela l'Etat leur impose de concentrer leurs efforts sur la mission première de l'Education d'Etat : endoctriner, égaliser, contrôler.   Mêlant histoire, économie et philosophie Rothbard nous mène à la racine du problème pour aboutir à ce constat. L'ouvrage d'une centaine de pages est clair, précis, remarquablement documenté. On comprend alors toute la futilité de poursuivre une solution à coup de réformes techniques. Puisque le problème, avant tout structurel, impose de se poser les bonnes questions : précisément celles que L'Etat ne veut pas et ne peut pas aborder. CET ÉPISODESuite et fin de l'examen critique du développement de l'école obligatoire aux Etats-Unis. Rothbard passe à la loupe le mouvement éducationniste et l'essor de l'éducation progressiste. Ainsi, nous découvrons des personnages exaltés, tels Robert Dale Owen et Frances Wright, dont le plan éducatif épouvantable met l'école au service d'un système étatique extrême, imposant aux enfants leur mise sous contrôle de l'État dès l'âge de 2 ans ! Nous observons également comment, méthodiquement, les « éducationnistes » (Horace Mann, Henry Barnard, etc.) en sont venu à prendre les rennes de leur secteur en constituant des organisations, par la diffusion de revues outils de leur propagande, par l'imposition de leurs normes et leur système de certification des enseignants. Et toujours ce même constat accablant : toutes ces mouvances utopistes, aussi bien intentionnées soient-elles, en viennent rapidement à usurper le rôle parental pour aboutir in fine à la suppression de la pensée indépendante.On retrouve Damien Theillier qui vient conclure cette lecture efficacement, ainsi qu'Olivier Ledoit : la conclusion de son essai reprend les enseignement clés de Rothbard et les resitue dans le contexte du système français. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MUSIQUEJ.S.

Lucas Engelhardt explores the economics of interventionism, tracing Ludwig von Mises's core argument that state interference in markets is both self-defeating and inherently unstable. Building on insights from Rothbard, Ikeda, and Higgs, Engelhardt examines why interventionism persists despite its failures, and whether we are, in fact, on the road to socialism or stuck in a stable middle ground.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 25, 2025.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob Winograd replays his appearance on the Libertarian Christian Podcast. In this engaging discussion, Jacob and host Cody Cook delve into the concept of Biblical Anarchy, examining its roots, definitions, and implications for modern Christian thought and governance. The conversation traverses a wide range of topics, including the interpretation of Romans 12-13, the role of self-ownership in Christian doctrine, critiques of property and governance, and the historical contributions of figures like Murray Rothbard. By dissecting both biblical texts and philosophical arguments, Jacob seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of a decentralized, non-coercive system of governance grounded in Christian beliefs - and to demonstrate why Anarchy isn't what people think it is.Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

In this classic 1963 essay, Murray Rothbard argues that the state is inherently hostile to peace because war enhances its power, prestige, and control. While individuals benefit from peace and voluntary exchange, governments thrive on conflict, using war as a tool to centralize authority and suppress liberty. Rothbard challenges the moral legitimacy of state warfare and calls for a truly libertarian stance—non-intervention and individualism.

The United States is dangerously close to entering yet another war in the Middle East. But this one has the potential to be a lot costlier for the American people while remaining just as unlikely to bring about peace and stability in the region.

In this welcome lecture to the 2025 Rothbard Graduate Seminar, Joseph Salerno dismantles the myth that Murray Rothbard was an outsider to mainstream economics.Drawing on Rothbard's deep academic training and early career, Salerno reveals how Rothbard was a thoroughly trained neoclassical economist before his conversion to Austrian economics. The talk highlights Rothbard's engagement with institutionalism, positivism, and Keynesianism, and how his discovery of Mises and praxeology transformed his outlook, ultimately forging one of the most original and radical economists of the 20th century.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on Sunday, June 8, 2025.

This is a cleaned-up version of what we thought was a really useful unedited conversation on the Biblical Anarchy Podcast.In it, Jacob Winograd sat down with Cody Cook to wrestle with some uncomfortable questions facing the liberty movement today. We talked about the rise of identity politics—not just on the left, but increasingly on the right—and whether libertarianism can offer a true alternative or if it's being co-opted by tribal instincts and reactionary impulses. Using Jeff Deist's controversial “blood and soil” quote as a starting point, we explore how freedom of association intersects with issues of nationalism, racism, and open borders.Can liberty thrive in a society fragmenting along cultural and tribal lines? Is decentralization enough, or do we need a shared moral foundation to preserve peace and voluntary cooperation? We reflect on Rothbard's Nations by Consent, the Christian nationalist temptation, and whether becoming a republic again is a prerequisite to building a voluntaryist future. It's a challenging but necessary conversation on where liberty and principle must stand in a world increasingly defined by group identity. Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★
