Alexander Hamilton: The Germ of Statism
All of the nonsense emanating from the general government can be traced back to Alexander Hamilton. The federal reserve, high taxes, and our $20 trillion debt, are all echoes of his ideas. Moreover, our omnipotent executive, weakened state sovereignty and bloated judiciary are all the result of actions he took, or advocated for. In this episode of The Agora we take a biographical approach to find out how and why he became the poster child for statism.

The Legacy of Karl Hess
In this episode of The Agora, J. Kent Hastings joins me to discuss the legacy of the great Karl Hess. Karl started out as a speechwriter for the Barry Goldwater campaign and went on to become one of the pillars of Agorist philosophy, yet many libertarians still aren't familiar with his story, or his work. Hess is responsible for what Per Bylund has termed "horizontal" counter-economics & the diy culture of the liberty movement.

Pimps & Hoes
A blowjob is better than no job - but don't tell that to the feminazis or the religious right. After all, they're the ones responsible for driving sex work underground in the first place. In this episode of The Agora, we use three books to examine pimping and prostitution.

Kratom
What's the deal with Kratom? Is it a drug or medicine? Is it taken recreationally or medicinally? Is it natural or man made? Are there potential risks? And most importantly, why does the state and federal government not want us to take it? To answer all of these questions and more, we're joined by Luis Fernando Mises of www.emancipatedhuman.com!

Agorist Class Theory
Class theory can seem like a dirty word to libertarians. In this episode, we examine four readings in order to derive an Agorist Class Theory. John C. Calhoun's Disquisition on Government provides the first brick in the foundation of the theory. In chapter 14 of Space Capitalism, Walter Block & Peter Nelson critique Calhoun's interpretation & offer a competing version. That view, is perhaps best summed up by Murray Rothbard in his article, The Case for Revisionism. Finally, a graduated synthesis is provided by Wally Conger's booklet, Agorist Class Theory.

How to Think Analytically
The ability to think logically sometimes feels like a lost art. This is unfortunate, because when an individual thinks critically, they're better prepared to engage in debate and rational discussion. More importantly, it makes us better advocates of liberty.

Geopolitics of America
Unlike Russia, the United States has an abundance of advantageous geographical features. A location entirely within the temperate zone, numerous deep water ports and natural harbors, and an interconnected, navigable river system helped make the United States a global superpower. The current shale boom, promises to extend that legacy into the 21st Century.
