Bob Murphy uses some samples from Dan Carlin’s amazing podcast, Hardcore History, to illustrate the flaws with state-provided military services. Bob concludes that minarchists have nothing to fear, and they should embrace the full vision of a voluntary society with no institutional coercion.
Mentioned in the episode: Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series on World War 1. Audio excerpts in this episode came from Parts IV and V in the series.

The Mises Institute exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics, and individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. These great thinkers developed praxeology, a deductive science of human action based on premises known with certainty to be true, and this is what we teach and advocate. Our scholarly work is founded in Misesian praxeology, and in self-conscious opposition to the mathematical modeling and hypothesis-testing that has created so much confusion in neoclassical economics.
