Tonight, we'll read from the opening to the 1923 travel memoir Peaks of Shala by Rose Wilder Lane. It is about a walking tour of mountainous Albania. The daughter of writer Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lane was an American journalist, travel writer, novelist, and political theorist. Though she is perhaps best known today for her work editing and shaping her mother's Little House series, Lane led a bold and independent life that took her far from the American frontier. In the early 1920s, she spent time as a foreign correspondent in postwar Europe, traveling through parts of the continent still recovering from World War I. Albania, then newly independent and largely unknown to the Western world, captured her imagination with its dramatic landscapes and fiercely traditional mountain communities. Peaks of Shala recounts her journey on foot through the northern Albanian highlands, a region governed more by ancient tribal codes than by any central government. Her writing blends observation and introspection, offering glimpses of rugged hospitality, isolated customs, and the physical demands of mountain travel. The book remains a rare first-hand account of a Western woman's experience in one of the most remote corners of Europe during a period of great transition. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Libertarian Fury: Discussing Rose Wilder Lane, with Professor David Beito In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz is joined by Professor David Beito for an exploration of the life and ideas of Rose Wilder Lane, one of the “founding mothers” of modern libertarianism. Beito, a historian with extensive work on Lane, T.R.M. Howard, and the New Deal's encroachments on civil liberties, delves into Lane's fierce advocacy for individual freedom, her philosophical journey, and her impact on the libertarian movement. This episode unpacks Lane's remarkable legacy and the enduring relevance of her ideas in contemporary debates about liberty and government power. Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand's philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand's teachings.

Send us a textNot often do we find people who make the case for how race, liberty, and equality belong together. Even less often do we find them making arguments in the height of racially and economically troubled times. And EVEN LESS do we find audio clips of them doing so. These people are inspiring. They stand up against the currents of the time to speak their minds, for the benefit of everyone. In doing so, they garner respect and build coalitions across ideological lines, because they have to. We can learn from them and aspire to be like them today.In a really unique episode, I am excited to welcome David Beito to the podcast to talk about Rose Wilder Lane's column, "Rose Lane Says," and how she brought together these three concepts of race, liberty, and equality to make an appealing case for freedom.

Behind the cozy wholesome sweetness of the Little House books, is a raging mother and daughter relationship that is the stuff of soap operas and tabloid talk shows. Laura Ingalls Wilder and her husband Almanzo had one living child named Rose. That child would go on to be Rose Wilder Lane – one of the most successful, and controversial, freelance writers in the early 20th century. Without her, the Little House books would never have been written. It was also Rose, the world famous writer, scared of being eclipsed by her mothers success, who, overcome with jealousy and resentment, almost derailed the entire Little House series before it even got started. In the first part of this two part episode, we're going to meet Rose Wilder Lane. Where did she come from? What was her life like? How did she become her mother's greatest collaborator, and under-miner?    Go deeper: Visit Laura and Rose's homes in Mansfield Caroline Fraser's Prairie Fires Follow us for behind the scenes content! @WilderPodcast on TikTok@Wilder_Podcast on InstagramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During WWII, while American forces battled dictatorial regimes overseas, three writers back home were unleashing a full-scale assault on the ideas at the very base of tyranny. Isabel Paterson's The God of the Machine, Rose Wilder Lane's The Discovery of Freedom, and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, all published in 1943, launched the modern American liberty movement. These women, once described as “the three furies of modern libertarianism,” have been the subjects of separate biographies. But Freedom's Furies by Timothy Sandefur is the first book-length exploration of their relationships and the context surrounding their 1943 books. On February 2—Rand's birthday—Sandefur I discussed his book and the enduring importance of these three authors.   #IsabelPaterson #RoseWilderLane #history #objectivism #AynRand #philosophy #flourishing

Critics of libertarianism argue that it is an ideology created by and for privileged white men. But the modern libertarian movement was founded and kept alive thanks to the writings and advocacy of three unstoppable women: Isabel Paterson, a literary critic; Rose Wilder Lane, a journalist; and Ayn Rand, a philosophical immigrant.In 1943, Paterson published The God in the Machine, Lane The Discovery of Freedom, and Rand The Fountainhead. These three books changed the course of libertarianism in the United States.Timothy Sandefur's new book Freedom's Furies tells the story of how this trio created a movement based on the principles of individualism and individual rights. Debunking the stereotypes of libertarians, Sandefur shows how these women inspired future generations to fight for freedom.Please join us for an introduction to Freedom's Furies by Timothy Sandefur and interim director of Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org Paul Meany, followed by a discussion featuring Libertarian activist Carla Howell, Reason Magazine's Elizabeth Nolan Brown, and Kat Murti from the Cato Institute.

Happy Halloween! In this episode, I'm sharing one of my favorite short ghost story called "Faces at the Window" by Rose Wilder Lane. It is based, in part, on the true story of the Bloody Benders, who murdered lodgers at their residence in the 1800s. Lane is the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the Little House on the Prairie book series. Lane did not publish this story before her death in 1968; it was released posthumously in 1972.

We recap our Independence Day, in which Nathan took his family to Mount Vernon and Jason did absolutely nothing other than watch “John Adams” and “1776.” Jason talks about his appreciation of “Loki” on Disney+. Nathan talks about how watching “Little House on the Prairie” with his kids has introduced him to one of Rose Wilder Lane, a matriarch of modern libertarianism. We also dive into the debate on critical race theory, which has become such a big issue in conservative circles.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast

Welcome back, friends. It's Sarah's birth month, so she got to choose our topic: BOOKS! It's a good one! Question 1: Name 3 books throughout your life that have shaped who you are today?    Birthday Sarah starts us off.   SARAH'S FIRST BOOK: Grimm's Fairy Tales, the really old, darker, less happily-ever-after versions of so many stories we know and love. Did we say darker? How about WAY darker? Like, Snow White has a lot of hearts being cut out of animals. Some stories have people gouging out eyes.    Sarah regales us with a retelling of a family favorite: “Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, Little Three Eyes,” a classic Cinderella-type story, where “Cinderella” is named for how many eyes she has (spoiler: It's two). Her stepmother and stepsisters have either fewer or more eyes than that, and they treat Little Two Eyes really badly. A wise woman tries to help out and somehow makes it worse. (You're gonna need this palate cleanser.) But then along comes a knight to make it all better. And then Sarah hits us with the coolest part of this story: Sarah might be a Grimm on her mom's side!   BRYN'S FIRST BOOK: Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book in a 9-book series of the author's experiences growing up as a little girl in the “big woods” of Wisconsin in 1871. Bryn read it as a child, and has come back to it throughout her life. She has a favorite memory of her mother reading it to her and her brother by firelight one night during a power outage.    Favorite chapters: Christmas, the Sugar Snow, Dance at Grandpa's. Favorite thing about the book: the writing, thanks in large part to Wilder's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who made the books into what they became: New Yorker article from August 2009. Resource: Racism and Cultural insensitivity in the Little House books Excellent article by Liz Fields in the American Masters section of PBS.org: Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, What should be done about racist depictions in the “Little House” books?    SARAH'S SECOND BOOK: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. An 1813  novel that follows Elizabeth Bennett and her sister Jane, who are of marriageable age, and must navigate suitors, social engagements, family and societal pressures. The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah's teenage imagination.    P&P Watch List: Take your pick Or go straight to Sarah's fave, the BBC's excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle. Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones' Diary   BRYN'S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It's the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon's chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.   What's a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret This was Bryn's first introduction to gender fluidity    SARAH'S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It's set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what's left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.   A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah's mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.  Check out Sarah's recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!     BRYN'S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn't want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband's wisdom.   Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn't love it.) Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn WISDOM FROM BRYN'S HUSBAND, ELON:  Books or art or music sometimes show you something you've never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that's possible that you hadn't ever imagined before You don't know how a book is impacting you while you're reading it Bryn's learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It's OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply. Extra homework: Ralph Nader Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen   Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?   Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”   Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press! 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.  But he did make some improvements Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.   Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks  Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He's the world's first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.  Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.   Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books   After watching the documentary,  The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead. Spoiler: They're not! Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months. Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020 E-books statistics Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books?   Sarah is all about audiobooks!    Whispersync She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.  And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum    Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah's recommendation.   Final Thoughts   Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.   Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark.

The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah's teenage imagination.    P&P Watch List: Take your pick Or go straight to Sarah's fave, the BBC's excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle. Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones' Diary   BRYN'S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It's the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon's chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.   What's a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret This was Bryn's first introduction to gender fluidity    SARAH'S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It's set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what's left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.   A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah's mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.  Check out Sarah's recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!     BRYN'S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn't want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband's wisdom.   Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn't love it.) Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn WISDOM FROM BRYN'S HUSBAND, ELON:  Books or art or music sometimes show you something you've never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that's possible that you hadn't ever imagined before You don't know how a book is impacting you while you're reading it Bryn's learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It's OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply. Extra homework: Ralph Nader Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen   Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?   Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”   Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press! 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.  But he did make some improvements Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.   Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks  Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He's the world's first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.  Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.   Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books   After watching the documentary,  The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead. Spoiler: They're not! Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months. Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020 E-books statistics Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books?   Sarah is all about audiobooks!    Whispersync She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.  And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum    Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah's recommendation.   Final Thoughts   Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it.

Derek and Maria Broaddus couldn’t have been more thrilled. In the summer of 2014, they bought their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey. But their dream home quickly turned into a nightmare when the couple received a series of unsettling anonymous letters. The letter writer knew their names. The writer knew the nicknames they gave their children. The writer alluded to secrets within the walls of the home, and referred to the Broaddus children as “young blood.” Each creepy letter was signed, “the watcher.”  Then, Kristin tells us about the controversy surrounding the literary estate of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura Ingalls Wilder authored the Little House on the Prairie series of children’s books. She began writing them when she was in her sixties. The books brought her tremendous financial stability. When she died, her will was crystal clear. Her literary estate would go to her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. Upon Rose’s death, the literary estate would go to the Laura Ingalls Library of Mansfield, Missouri. But that’s not what happened.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Lawsuit on the prairie: Battle pits small library against huge estate,” by Hallie Levine for the New York Post “Little library on the offensive,” by Lynda Richardson for The New York Times “Little library on the prairie  in a legal tangle,” by Stephanie Simon for the Los Angeles Times “Little house on the controversy: Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name removed from book award,” by Kat Chow for NPR “Rose Wilder Lane” entry on Wikipedia “Laura Ingalls Wilder” entry on Wikipedia In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Haunting of a Dream House” by Reeves Wiedeman, The Cut “The Real Life Story Of The Watcher Feels Like A Stephen King Novel” by Alana Robson, TheThings.com (http://thethings.com) “'The Watcher' house is sold years after a family was terrorized with creepy letters” by Allen Kim, CNN

Third time's the charm!

We talk about how he discovered Rose Wilder Lane's walk-the-walk libertarianism, her transition in and out of socialism, the likelihood that she co-wrote her mother's Little House series of books, Pete's own history with libertarianism and the uncomfortable questions he'd ask his parents, and why his own biography would be a lot less interesting than those of his subjects. We also discuss his writing and drawing process and how he structured these books, why he'd prefer to produce comics in installments and how economics mitigate against that model, how trying to write for TV made his comics writing more concise, and why he's likely sticking to shorter biography comics for a while. Oh, and we talk about his '80s/'90s editorship of the anthology Weirdo, how he followed R. Crumb, and the artists he pissed off as well as the ones to whom he gave their first shot, and the memoir he's written but has yet to draw. • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we look at the decades following World War II when the federal government passed civil rights laws and enacted social programs concerning public health, housing, education, transportation, and anti-poverty initiatives that aimed to provide opportunity and spread prosperity to the greatest number of citizens. To explain how this era of activist government succeeded – and then how it was scaled back after 1980, I speak with historian David Goldfield about his new book, The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good. For the past few decades in the US, anti-government rhetoric has become a major force in American politics. Conservatives insist that government has grown too big and too expensive. Many also claim that it tramples the liberty of individuals through onerous regulations concerning the environment, the economy, the workplace, and education. But there was a time in the not too distant past when Americans liked and benefitted from big government. It started in the 1930s when President FDR’s administration responded to the Great Depression with a vast array of policies and programs known as the New Deal. But it really ramped up from 1945 – 1969 during the administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. In those decades an activist federal government enacted laws and policies promoting civil rights, public health, housing, education, transportation, and anti-poverty programs.  This era of activist government greatly expanded opportunity for success and upward mobility for millions of Americans, boosted the economy, and extended life expectancy.      But then in the 1970s, a conservative political movement that had been gaining momentum since the 1960s, began to push back against activist government, denouncing it as socialist and wasteful. And before long, the US began to shrink or eliminate the programs that had opened up opportunity for so many in the postwar years. To learn more about this history of the rise and fall of activist government in US history, I’ll speak with historian David Goldfield, author of The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good.  In the course of our conversation, David Goldfield discusses: How three presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson in part due to their own humble origins, supported laws that expanded civil rights and access to education, as well as programs that reduced poverty.   How these programs emanated from a commitment to the Commonwealth ideal -  the notion that the purpose of government is to enact laws and policies that promote the general welfare of the citizenry. How and why in the 1970s American conservatives began to demonize activist government and preach a doctrine of radical individualism and free market capitalism. How the presidency of Ronald Reagan began a decades long retreat from programs and policies that reduced inequality and provided broad opportunity to the largest number of Americans.  David Goldfield is professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is the author of 16 books, including Black, White, and Southern: Race Relations and Southern Culture and Cotton Fields and Skyscrapers: Southern City and Region, both of which were nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.    Recommended reading:  David Goldfield, The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good (Bloomsbury, 2017).  Kevin M.

Rose Wilder Lane was an American journalist who became enchanted with communism early in life. She looked to communist Europe and the Soviet Union as the ideal for civilization. But in 1920, while traveling with the Red Cross to Europe,  she saw the real consequences of communism. Her paradigm was shattered! This led her to write on her experiences, earning her a place in history as one of the harbingers of modern libertarian philosophy.

This week we take on the topic of libertarianism, an ideology that in recent years has gained many adherents, including political conservatives and people in business, especially the high tech industry. But it's worth asking, what is libertarianism and where does it fit in the history of American political culture? Is it a mainstream ideology with deep roots in American history? Or is it one on the fringe? And what accounts for its surging popularity in recent years?  Well, to answer these questions, I’ll first give my historian's take on libertarianism. Spoiler alert: I'm not a big fan. I'll point out how libertarianism occupies a place on the very outer fringe of American political ideology. And that it's mainly an ideology of recent origin (ca 1945) and that it's popularity has a lot to do with the efforts of millionaires and billionaires, as well as large corporations, that fund pro-libertarian initiatives. The US has always revered individualism, but not the radical individualism that defines libertarianism. It's an individualism that has always been tempered by an equally important commitment to the common good. Then I'll speak with Christine Woodside, author of the book, Libertarians on the Prairie: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose Wilder Lane, and the Making of the Little House Books.  Wait, what? Little House on the Prairie has something to do with libertarianism? Yes. In fact, as you’re about to hear, it has quite a bit to do with it. Let's just say that it's a story that includes not only Laura Ingalls Wilder, but also Ayn Rand, the Koch brothers, and the Libertarian Party.   About Christine Woodside – website Further Reading Christine Woodside, Libertarians on the Prairie: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose Wilder Lane, and the Making of the Little House Books (2015  Nancy MacLean, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America (2017) Colin Woodard, American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good (2015) Daniel Cluchey, “The Founding Fathers Were Not Libertarians,” Huffington Post, May 25, 2011 Music for This Episode Jay Graham, ITPL Intro (JayGMusic.com) Kevin McCleod, “Impact Moderato” (Free Music Archive) Ketsa, “I Will Be There” (Free Music Archive) Doc Turtle, “Thought Soup” (Free Music Archive) Hefferman, “Winter Trek” (Free Music Archive) The Bell, “I Am History” (Free Music Archive) Production Credits Executive Producer: Lulu Spencer Technical Advisors: Holly Hunt and Jesse Anderson Podcasting Consultant: Darrell Darnell of Pro Podcast Solutions Photographer: John Buckingham Graphic Designer: Maggie Cellucci Website by: ERI Design Legal services: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too Social Media management: The Pony Express Risk Assessment: Little Big Horn Associates Growth strategies: 54 40 or Fight © Snoring Beagle International, 2017

This week on "A Way with Words": Giving your baby an unusual moniker may seem like a great idea at the time. But what if you have second thoughts? One mother of a newborn had such bad namer's remorse, she poured out her heart to strangers online. Speaking of mothers and daughters: Laura Ingalls Wilder didn't write the "Little House on the Prairie" series alone. She had help from her daughter Rose--who turned out to be quite a demanding editor. And where in the world would you find an upstairs basement? Plus: scat singing, jook joints, makes no nevermind, from hell to breakfast, dog pound vs. animal shelter, and what you're supposed to do in an upstairs basement.FULL DETAILSGiving your baby an uncommon name may seem like a swell idea. But what if you're the parent of a newborn and you already have namer's remorse? A potch or putch is a slap, as in potch in tuchis. This term for spanking related to German Patsch, meaning "a slap." A listener in Springfield, New Hampshire, says her family also used the term potching around to describe her mischievous behavior as a toddler.Scat singing doesn't have any relation to scat, as in "excrement." Musical scat probably derives from the sound of one of the nonsense syllables in such songs.Sitzfleisch, from German words that literally mean "sit-flesh," refers to perseverance--the ability, in other words, to sit and endure something for a long period of time. How is Betsy Ross like tight pants? Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski wants to know.The term dog pound sounds a lot more menacing than animal shelter, until you learn that pound simply has to do with the idea of an enclosed space, as does a pond, which is often formed by enclosing a space and filling it with water.A jook joint is a roadside establishment where all sorts of drinking, dancing, and gambling may occur. Zora Neale Hurston described them in her 1934 essay "Characteristics of Negro Expression," and the term probably derives from a West African term for "jumping around." We've talked before about the term wasband, as in, ex-husband. A caller suggests another good term for that fellow: penultimate husband.The emphatic exclamation from hell to breakfast goes back to the Civil War.Here's a word unit palindrome to drop at a party: Escher drawing hands drew hands drawing Escher.The Little House on the Prairie series was actually a collaboration between Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane, who turns out to have been a bit of a bully.What is the difference between a ghost and a spirit?

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 152. This is my speech “Libertarianism After Fifty Years: What Have We Learned?” delivered at the NYC LibertyFest (Brooklyn, NY, October 11, 2014). The original title was "Libertarianism After Fifty Years: A Reassessment and Reappraisal" but I was allotted only about 15-20 minutes so condensed the scope and could only touch briefly on many of the matters discussed. This audio was recorded by me from my iphone in my pocket; video and a higher-quality audio should be available shortly. The outline and notes used for the speech is appended below, which includes extensive links to further material pertaining to  matters discussed in the speech. An edited transcript is available here. Speech Notes/Outline Libertarianism After Fifty Years: What Have We Learned? Stephan Kinsella NYC LibertyFest, Brooklyn, NY October 11, 2014   Introduction Modern libertarianism is about 50 years old. Main figures: Rand and Rothbard. “three furies of libertarianism” (Doherty, Radicals for Capitalism): Rose Wilder Lane, Ayn Rand, and Isabel Patterson (1943) Mises, Hayek, Read, Friedman Rand Atlas, 1957; Rothbard, MES, 1962 From a Foreword I wrote for a forthcoming libertarian book: Modern libertarian theory is only about five decades old. The ideas that have influenced our greatest thinkers can be traced back centuries, of course,[1] to luminaries such as Hugo Grotius, John Locke, Thomas Paine, Herbert Spencer, David Hume, and John Stuart Mill, and to more recent and largely even more radical thinkers such as Gustave de Molinari, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, Bertrand de Jouvenal, Franz Oppenheimer, and Albert Jay Nock.[2] The beginnings of the modern movement can be detected in the works of the “three furies of libertarianism,” as Brian Doherty calls them: Rose Wilder Lane, Ayn Rand, and Isabel Patterson, whose respective books The Discovery of Freedom, The Fountainhead, and The God of the Machine were all published, rather remarkably, in the same year: 1943.[3] But in its more modern form, libertarianism originated in the 1960s and 1970s from thinkers based primarily in the United States, notably Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard. Other significant influences on the nascent libertarian movement include Ludwig von Mises, author of Liberalism (1927) and Human Action (1949, with a predecessor version published in German in 1940); Nobel laureate F.A. von Hayek, author of The Road to Serfdom (1944); Leonard Read, head of the Foundation for Economic Education (founded 1946); and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, author of the influential Capitalism and Freedom (1962). The most prominent and influential of modern libertarian figures, however, were the aforementioned novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand, the founder of “Objectivism” and a “radical for capitalism,” and Murray Rothbard, the Mises-influenced libertarian anarcho-capitalist economist and political theorist. Rothbard's seminal role is widely recognized, even by non-Rothbardians. Objectivist John McCaskey, for example, has observed, that out of the debates in the mid-1900s about what rights citizens ought to have, "grew the main sort of libertarianism of the last fifty years. It was based on a principle articulated by Murray Rothbard in the 1970s this way: No one may initiate the use or threat of physical violence against the person or property of anyone else. The idea had roots in John Locke, America's founders, and more immediately Ayn Rand, but it was Rothbard's formulation that became standard. It became known as the non-aggression principle or—since Rothbard took it as the starting point of political theory and not the conclusion of philosophical justification—the non-aggression axiom. In the late twentieth century, anyone who accepted this principle could call himself, or could find himself called, a libertarian, even if he disagreed with Rothbard's own insistence that rights are best protected when there is no ...

Ultimately, when Rose died — it was in 1968, she was 81 — Roger MacBride inherited everything she owned, including the fabulously valuable rights to the Little House books ostensibly written by her mother... It was Roger MacBride who put the Little House stories on network TV for most of the 1970s and the early 1980s as well. It was also Roger MacBride who put the fledgling Libertarian Party on the political map in 1972 and represented it as its presidential nominee in the 1976 campaign against Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. In later years, MacBride abandoned the LP and went back to the Republican Party, within which he founded a libertarian organization, the Republican Liberty Caucus.
