Episode 452: Abandoning The Identifier 'Libertarian' w/ Jeff Deist

55 Minutes Safe For Work Jeff Deist is the president of the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama and former chief of staff to congressman Ron Paul. Jeff was originally contacted by Pete to discuss his recommendation that people should stop using the term "libertarian" as a personal descriptor, but only as an adjective. They then talk about whether the term "capitalism" is salvageable and how hyperbolic statements used on social media like, "these people want me dead," should be interpreted and whether they can be viewed as an imminent threat.  Other topics are broached as well.  Jeff's Mises.org Page Mises Institute Graduate Program Get Autonomy 19 Skills PDF Download Unloose The Goose The Monopoly On Violence Pete's Patreon Pete's Books on Amazon Pete's Books Available for Crypto Pete on Facebook Pete on Twitter
