Hoppe New Year! We discuss the movie Ex Machina and the implications of AI in regards to NAP, Property Rights, Self-Defense and a myriad of other issues. Our first non-family member guest, Liam Cardenas, joins us for a lively discussion that spans just over an hour. You can check out Liam's blog over at: https://ljc.io/We hope you enjoy this one and here's to the best to come in 2017!For Show Notes and more, please visit: http://www.readrothbard.com/Special-Happy-New-YearPresented by Read Rothbard: Read Rothbard is comprised of a small group of voluntaryists who are fans of Murray N. Rothbard. We curate content on the www.ReadRothbard.com site including books, lectures, articles, speeches, and we make a weekly podcast based on his free-market approach to economics. Our focus is on education and how advancement in technology improves the living standards of the average person.The Read Rothbard Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom. We look at movies and current events from a Rothbardian Anarchist perspective. If it's voluntary, we're cool with it. If it's not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights - the core tenants of Libertarian Theory - and hence - human freedom.Website: http://www.ReadRothbard.comiTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-read-rothbard-podcast/id1166745868Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ii45fhytlsiwkw6cbgzbxi6ahmi?t=The_Read_Rothbard_PodcastFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/readrothbardclubTwitter: https://twitter.com/read_rothbardFlickr: https://www.flickr.com/gp/145447582@N05/xB4583Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ReadRothbardMurray Rothbard, Murray N Rothbard, Read Rothbard, Anarchy, Anarchism, Free-Market, Anarcho-Capitalism, News and Events, Podcast, Laissez-Faire, Voluntaryist, Voluntaryism, Non-Aggression Principle, NAP, Libertarian, Libertarianism, Economics, Austrian Economics, Austrian Economics Overview, Capital and Interest Theory, Prices, Value and Exchange, Microeconomics, Supply and Demand,
