Friday Philosophy with David Gordon

Comrade Aristotle?

In today‘s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon looks back upon the ethical views of the late Alasdair MacIntyre. While praising MacIntyre‘s work, Dr. Gordon points out that he never abandoned his Marxist views of economics, making much of his philosophical thinking crucially deficient.

The Immorality of Keynesian Economics

Keynesian “economics” is not just wrong; its precepts are not just based upon fallacies but also on lies. Since Keynes self-described as an “immoralist,” we shouldn‘t be surprised that his economics is immoral, too.

The Misesian
Rothbard’s “Anatomy of the State” introduces the state as a unique, coercive institution, distinct from society. The latest Misesian expands on this view, examining historical commentary on the state’s emergence and its central role in modernity.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
