In this week's episode, Mark looks at the opportunities ahead of us for significant reforms and dismantling the State. Increasingly, more people realize that the government has been lying to them and working against their interests. Many also realize that Austrian economists, in contrast with Mainstream economists, have been presenting the true picture of the State. The political landscape has already shifted—and continues to shift—beneath the State, like an earthquake under a teetering third world building. The foundations of the World Economic Forum agenda are now in tatters.

On this week's Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop reflect on the fourth anniversary of the political response to covid and discuss if any meaningful lessons were learned, could something similar could happen again, and why it is right to still be furious with the tyranny American's experienced from a variety of fronts.

After Frank Potts molested an eleven-year-old girl in 1982, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Six years later, he was granted an early release, despite his parole report warning that he was still dangerous. Sadly, the report proved prescient, as Potts was arrested a second time in 1994 after he molested another eleven-year-old girl.

Once he was back behind bars, authorities began searching Potts’s forty-acre property on Alabama’s Garrett Mountain. Local rumors had long circulated that there were bodies buried around the property, and they were finally confirmed with the discovery of the remains of a nineteen-year-old man who had gone missing in 1989. The rough mountain terrain impeded their search for more bodies, but authorities believed Potts had committed as many as fifteen murders since his release from prison.

Given that the parole report warned that Pott’s was high-risk, why was he freed?

The Anti-Drug Abuse Act, passed in 1986, dramatically expanded mandatory minimum sentences for drug offences, including marijuana possession. The act was a gift to violent criminals and sex offenders, who were often granted early release to make room for convicted drug users. Frank Potts was one such beneficiary, allowing him to enjoy a six-year killing spree.

From education to nutrition and healthcare, this series has looked at how individuals are better positioned to make decisions regarding their well-being than bureaucrats and politicians, but this doesn’t mean that people never make poor choices. Substance abuse certainly reflects poor personal choices, and many people look to the State to prevent it. But even policies meant to save people from their own reckless decisions, such as the War on Drugs, often cause more harm than they prevent.

The fentanyl crisis reveals another way that prohibitionist policies have exacerbated the problems they were designed to prevent. Economist Mark Thornton has shown that one unintended consequence of drug prohibiti..

In this week's episode, Mark examines Ludwig von Mises's important contributions to free trade theory. Free trade is more important than people think, and most government intervention is protectionist—or aids the promoters of protectionism.

Trade causes civilization to come about. Protectionism is the greatest threat to our way of life, and a danger to human life, itself.
