The Purpose Of My Work

Improving the civic political debate by giving conservatives a rational language: Propertarianism.

II. An Institutional Solution To The Problem Of Politics

Providing an improvement to our institutions so that people with incompatible goals can cooperate for mutual benefit: Capitalism v3.

III. A Libertarian Reformation Is In Process  (INCOMPLETE)

The previous generations of libertarians, who had to fight ideological world communism, and practical political socialism, is about to be replaced by the the next generation, which actively seeks to restore our freedoms on one end, and to prepare for the future against the failure of the western empire on the other. While the rothbardians have succeeded in creating a libertarian ideology that inspires the masses, its up to intellectuals to create a framework of institutions to make those ideologies implementable.

I use libertarian theory and the Propertarian methodology of Rothbard and Hoppe. Institutionally, I can find no better method of establishing a political order than through constitutionalism and the rule of law. I rely on the praxeological model of social science: objective observations of what humans actually do – how they really act. Contrary to my expectations, and partly contrary to my desires, I have determined that some form of redistribution is called for. In this section I try to explain my approach to political philosophy.

“Why do you seem so arrogant and antagonistic?” Or, what I learned from the relentlessness of Milton Friedman, and the mistaken gentility of Friedrich Hayek.

On Philosophy And Writing Style

“Why don’t you write more simply?” That’s a good question. While philosophy is not an easy subject to read or write, clarity comes from first principles produced by the philosophical process of argument, not from the argument itself — which by necessity is usually obtuse.

Dani Roderik makes the argument that we need a new look at capitalism. Of course, he means the opposite of what I do.
