If you haven’t read Anatomy of the State by Murray Rothbard, fear not! Because I read it for you for this week’s #Bitcoin Out Loud episode.

Here’s a couple quotes from the book I particularly enjoy:

“The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism.”

“A “conspiracy theory” can unsettle the system by causing the public to doubt the State’s ideological propaganda.”

“For the masses of men do not create their own ideas, or indeed think through these ideas independently; they follow passively the ideas adopted and disseminated by the body of intellectuals.”

Not to spoil fun, but Anatomy of the state and Man economy and state are both available on youtube as audiobooks. Both are quite well narrated and processed.
