Dan, evidently, you do not know that Austrian
Economics (particularly the Rothbardian variety you
seem to favor) is little more than a set of
ideologically driven assertions, buttressed
arbitrarily by "definitions" concocted ad hoc, in
order to give the endeavor the appearance of logical
consistency. It is neither science nor economics but
more in the nature of cultic religion -- a dangerous
one at that.
What we are getting from you, I'm afraid, is the
mantra of true belief in a false religion, without
substance or argumentation whatsoever.
An example in point is this so-called definition we
got from you the other day:
"Again, let me define liberty for those who don't
know: the absence of invasion by another man of any
man’s person or property."
By this so-called definition, a man stranded
permanently on an otherwise uninhabited desert island
(Perhaps after his yacht inadvertently hit a rock and
sank?) in the Solomons has more liberty than Bill
Gates, in his mansion in Seattle, subject to taxes,
jury duty, etc.
It's a ludicrous, ridiculous definition.
But Austrian Economics is replete with such ludicrous,
ridiculous definitions.
Stick with us, Dan, if you actually want to learn
about liberty.
All we ask is that you think.
