One of the most popular posts, ever, at EPJ is The 30 Day Reading List that will Lead You to Becoming a Knowledgeable Libertarian.

Hey Wolfgang, it looks like you have your work cut out for you. Now get to listening you commie!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised you omitted both Tom Woods and Ron Paul who have had more than one timeless libertarian speech.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this is a great idea and I am excited about it.
Somebody has a Wolfgang stuck in their head. Usually (always?) when we have a emotional response to another (good or bad) it is because we are seeing something in them that reminds us of something in us. Now you may be thinking, "But I'm not a statist pig." That's were it gets tricky. The something they are doing and the something that it reminds you of in you, can be two different things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list Robert! Are these in any particular order or can I skip around?
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the Live Stream of this weekend's Mises Circle!
ReplyDeleteOn You Tube starting at 10am CST.
Robert, here's another great one:
ReplyDelete"Is Limited Government an Oxymoron?" featuring Tom Woods and Doug Casey

Thanks for the list, Mr. Wenzel. Robert Higgs' speech at the end of Mises University 2013 is one of my favorites, and I've listened to it several times.
ReplyDeleteThe link you have listed for number 2 is for a lecture by Peter Klein about the Fed. It's a good lecture, but if you truly meant to link to Murray Rothbard's lecture on Banking and the Business Cycle then here is the correct link:

By the way, I'm a very satisfied EPJ Alert customer.
