Last time we met in Orlando, Bob Murphy mentioned how much worse our political and social divide would be if the economy crashed like 2008. Now we face this very problem—with COVID-19 lockdowns and George Floyd protests decimating the economy and social media exposing raw animosity along racial and "woke" lines. Congress and the Fed have gone into overdrive creating new stimulus and "liquidity," but 40 million Americans are unemployed and major cities are still recovering from turmoil. The national debt tops $26 trillion while tax receipts at all levels of government plummet.
So what does it all mean for you, for freedom, and for the future of America—economic and otherwise?
Recorded in Orlando, Florida, on August 29, 2020. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Greg Roe for making this event possible.

Liberty vs. Power is a history podcast dedicated to what Murray Rothbard saw as the noble task of libertarians: "to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals."
Featuring Dr. Patrick Newman and Tho Bishop, each episode is dedicated to exposing the cronyism that has fueled the growth of the American empire, and celebrating those precious victories in defense of liberty.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen announced the bank would begin selling assets it has relentlessly bought since the Crash of '08. The financial press, including the Wall Street Journal, dutifully praised Yellen for her steady hand. But our guest Dr. Mark Thornton has a different take on what it all means for stock markets, investors, and the US economy. Can quantitative easing—a roundabout form of monetizing debt—actually work? Can monetary policy make us rich? Or, are Fed officials just groping in the dark, putting off a day of reckoning? Jeff Deist and Mark Thornton unwind the narrative.

Recorded in St. Petersburg, Florida on October 22, 2021.
The weekend revolves around a discussion of strategy. Nearly 25 years ago, Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe delivered his famous "What Must Be Done" speech on the pressing topic of how—and whether—to engage the state. Today his prescription for a bottom-up ideological revolution beginning at the local level rings more true than ever. With Hoppe's admonitions in mind, all of our speakers and panels will consider three vital questions: Where are we? How Bad is it? And what should we do now?

The late Murray Rothbard is in many ways the godfather of the modern libertarian movement, starting with the publication of his great treatise 'Man, Economy, and State', back in 1962. And of course, Rothbard played an instrumental role in helping Lew Rockwell get the Mises Institute off the ground.
This weekend's show features a great panel discussion about Murray—not just the economist and the intellectual scholar, but also Murray the man. The panel features David Gordon, Walter Block, and Joe Salerno—all three of whom worked with Murray, and knew him personally for many, many years prior to his death in 1995.
So, if you're a fan of Rothbard, you will enjoy this free-wheeling discussion of what Murray was like not just as an intellectual and a scholar, but also as a person.
