Episode 229: Episode 229 - A Perfect World (1:18:15)
from Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective · host Actual Anarchy
In a perfect world, we would have recorded this a few days ago. Pipes wouldn't burst. Food poisoning wouldn't be a thing. But we don't live in a perfect world...and in fact, our world is often less perfect than it could be by those striving to make it more perfect. Yes, those with the pretense of knowledge are the very same who ignore spontaneous order and meddle with the natural and organic forces at play - causing distortions unforeseen when they would have been better off to leave it to voluntary interactions among peaceful people rather than coercively force their ill-conceived central planning. Other than Vienna Sausages being gross, what other lessons can we draw from this movie - we'll find out. Join us next week for a review of Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut" with our friend Mike C. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/229 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
