This is a group for ‘straddlers like myself who favor liberal economic policies and limited government. Some descriptive terms you might identify with could include: anarcho-capitalist, minarchist, libertarian, Austrian, neo-classical, classical liberal, anti-statist, objectivist, Rothbardian, etc. This list is by no means conclusive or exclusive, just throwing out some viewpoints.
I’m gonna throw out some names to make this group more searchable:
Hayek, Friedman, Mises, Rothbard, Rand, Kirzner, Caplan, Coyne, Boettke.
I’d love to hear what sort of political and economic philosophy you ascribe to!

Free Society and Free Markets 11 years, 11 months agoNot sure how to make the avatar work right…the cropping tool does not make sense to me. Sorry for the current image. I will try to keep working with it.

Free Society and Free Markets 11 years, 11 months agoOpinions on the Atlas Shrugged movie? I liked it, but I’ve heard everything from (from conservatives) from loving it to thinking that Rand is rolling over in her grave because of it.
The book, as well as most of Rand’s other works, is very special to me.

I am definitely not a Randian and have only read The Fountainhead. I do find aspects of her ideology interesting, but also too restrictive. I didn’t forgo the movie because of that thought, it’s more because the one theatre it played at in, like, all of Atlanta, was too far away.
Honestly though, I’ve only heard bad things, so I don’t really…[Read more]

The critics panned it, but really…critics are often very liberal. I don’t agree with her 100% of the time, but I do agree with most of the basics.

-
I’m not a big fan of Karger. I was really excited about him at first, but I’ve done some research and I’m not convinced he’s actually economically conservative.
-
Ughh. Seems to be the recurring theme.
