Tom Woods on the Old Right
Вставка

- We continue our look at leading figures from the Old Right with guest Tom Woods, who helped publish the late Murray Rothbard's The Betrayal of the American Right. Rothbard admired the courageous and revisionist voices promoting the Old Republic, and shared their antagonism for war and economic intervention. Tom and Jeff discuss great essays like Albert J. Nock's "Isaiah's Job" and Frank Chodorov's "The Ethic of the Peddler Class;" the latter a rousing defense of the merchant class against both bureaucrats and the country-club conservatism which would emerge under William F. Buckley. The old antiwar and anti-New Deal works of figures like Menken, Hazlitt, Howard Buffett, Chodorov, and Nock deserve far wider consideration, especially as the "New Right" spirals into the worst of Buckleyite foreign policy and know-nothing economics. You owe it to yourself to explore this great but underappreciated tradition.

I listened to Rothbard at the Sheraton hotel in studio city 1983. I was fortunate.
Thank you. I'm 65 and enjoy learning from Mises Institute on a daily basis. I'm just wondering what I'm going to do with this new knowledge.
Spread the knowledge while also getting involved locally in your city, county, and state to further embody the Libertarian principles. We need people of all ages to support, represent and spread the Libertarian ideals.
If you have absolutely no primal desire to run for political office, than it is probably a good idea to do just that.
@@joeycasale755 no I'm going to leave my skeletons in the closet thank you very much. :)
This is fantastic. Thank you Jeff
It's actually shocking how no one on the right ever remember who Albert Jay Nock is. Frankly embarrassing. I don't mind a pessimist and a elitist here and there. Balances Rothbard.
@Ricky Moore I don't see Rothbard as being Hegelian. In fact a reactionary cannot be Hegelian because Dialectics imply some sort of force that generate an automatic direction towards say communism or fascism or neoliberalism. Rothbard was much against whig historicity which is a form of Hegelian vision of directional history.
@Ricky Moore No, it's called having a model. There's no automatism implied in the frame work, it;s an angle, a thetha. I guess you're not a technical thinker, that's fine, you can abstract that away by thinking people are ''dense''. Showcase to me a quote by Rothbard that claims that because of a dialectic tension between liberty and power, a pre destined outcome will emerge, just as Marx claim with communism. Oh wait, you won't be able to find it because He never thought that this tension meant an absolute outcome. That's Hegelianism. You definitely did not understand it. Refrain from making comments about other's when your own knowledge is limited.
The symphony of destruction!
I remember failing hard to sing that song at karaoke at mises university ❤
I wishes you spent more time talking about the 'old right' criticism of the New Deal.
I was born in 1968 ànd was raised by grandparents who were born at the turn of the century. I grew up thinking like the old right. They couldn't say enough bad things about FDR or Harry Truman and loved Calvin Coolidge. They were free market and minarchists. I was a classical liberal my whole life and didn't even know it.
Fantastic podcast.
Tom's right on about the merchant class. My dad had a liquor store in Metro Detroit. The things I heard over the years.
Why are the cigarettes so expensive, is it your Arab tax?
Your dad doesn't pay taxes because he's an immigrant.
You're price gouging! (Over specialty beer)
The working class isn't much different than the elites when it comes to the middlemen who make their lives so much better.
Nice opening with Symphony of Destruction!
When I see audiences for Mises Institute lectures I think the defenders of freedom STILL only preach to the converted.
See the Brion McClanahan Show for an old right podcast. 🤠
Immediately clicked on this one as soon as I saw lol
Read Russell Kirk people!
If Twitter is like high school, is Tik Tok like middle school?
Could have done without the Elon Musk simping, he might have done great things at one point, but what he mostly does these days is create hype and promise things that can't be delivered.
Don’t forget Rose Wilder Lane. Great American.
The leader has Sowell's vision, which then is imposed socially by the followers..
If only those that have no real work so have the time to read had a brain. But then that would be asking too much. They critique those that have no ability to ever match from any level.
I enjoy the Megadeth bumper but I have had a hard time listening to T. Wood since he dumped his wife for a younger model...What happens to his 5 kids.
What even an even simpler explanation about masks, vacs, and minimum wage: it's the self-interest thing to do :-)
why is fraud a libertarian crime?
Theft+Property right = bad.
Too much carping in the Buckley style. Dissappointing. Hardly any depth here.
