The Alex Merced Podcast - Individualism, Economics, Culture from a Nice Guy episodes

  • Libertarianism is not anti-government but Anti-violence
    In this episode I respond to a guest on the Ezra Klein Show. The guest, a philosopher, was arguing that businesses and families are also central planning and lead to power balances that need egalitarian considerations.
    While this criticism of anti-government thought may seem persuasive on the surface it completely misunderstands the fundamental social criticism that libertarianism brings to the table. Libertarianism isn’t anti governance or authority but anti-violence. It’s this crucial point that egalitarians often misunderstand about libertarians and I explain in this podcast episode.

  • What is Alex Merced up to?

     I will be on near radio silence for the next several months and I wanted to make sure you guys know I’m not disappearing. Please listen to this audio clip where I explain the journey I’ll be on. I’ll still be around and accessible if you need my help, advice or encouragement but I will certainly be a lot more low key till January.

    For those who’d like to help the best thing you can do is buy a copy of my book (TheLibertarianHeart.com), buy a T-shirt (Tshirt.libertarian101.com) or make a donation at Donate.AlexMerced.com

    Either way I’ll be around, my story ain’t done quite yet.
