Mises Weekends with Joseph Becker: Economic Liberty Denied
Jeff Deist and Joseph Becker discuss the illusion of judicial remedies for most Americans; how Becker is attacking cronyism in Nevada; how a Rothbardian legal system might deal with torts, crimes, and externalities; and how the statist 20th century courts created a phony legal distinction between fundamental liberties and economic liberties.
Joseph F. Becker is a Mises University graduate and Mises Institute Associated Scholar who earned his master's degree in economics under Murray Rothbard. Today, he heads up the Nevada Policy Research Institute's Center for Justice where he sues government agencies on behalf of plaintiffs with sympathetic libertarian causes.
