Episode 237: Episode 237 - Havana (1:32:48)
from Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective · host Actual Anarchy
Tonight's movie is “Havana” starring Robert Redford that sadly we will not be able to do with our guest we had lined up as Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal and Target Liberty passed away recently. This was his suggestion of a movie and so we are going to continue with it. Havana is a 1990 American drama film starring Robert Redford, Lena Olin, Alan Arkin, and Raul Julia, directed by Sydney Pollack that highlights the events leading up to the revolution over the holiday season of 1958. Next week we shall return with Ben Johnson of "Gentlemen Broncos" fame to do the Gerard Butler and Jaime Foxx vehicle, "Law Abiding Citizen". Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/237 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)
