Mission Accomplished
Book a day for April complete
Greetings fellow Plebs & Peasants,
Well, it wasn’t easy some days, but a month ago I gave myself a goal of an austro-libertarian/anarcho-capitalist audio book a day for a month. And as of today, I have officially completed the task successfully. And my brain hurts. Some days I could could fit two or three in depending on runtime. Some of the books took me two days to complete (I found my daily max for allowable time AND sanity to be ~6 hours, so a couple that were 10 to 12 hours, had to split those over two days). But all in all, I averaged more than one a day, so I consider that complete. I will still be posting the weekly ‘book club’, but for anyone who is interested, here is the complete list I have listened to. I hope at least some of ya’ll, especially those completely unfamilar with austrian economics or libertarian/anarchist philopsophy, take the opportunity to listen/read when time permits. I’d prefer everyone reading this becoming an anarchist when all is said and done, but I will settle with just one person learning real economics in order to understand why this fake economy we currently have is in the state of disaster it is (hint, free market capitalism is not to blame). So, listen, don’t listen, I can’t force anyone, nor would I (NAP anyone?). But you will only be doing yourself a disservice. I have also included a selection of videos discussing related topics that have been part of my journey at one point or another as well as some good ol fashioned anti-authoritarian music (yes, it still does exist). Enjoy.
