Just found this on Marco's Blog and put a link in my Blog too. I am from Austria but staying in Germany for work most of the time. Actually I am one of very few Austrians (and Europeans outside GB) who really honours the Austrian School of Economics. Very nice stuff. Just found this on Marco’s Blog and put a link in my Blog too.

Marco, where are you from?

I mentioned it: Germany. Or more accurate: Leipzig, city in the former Communist east.

I have been researching the “lack of liberty” in Germanic countries. It is amazing that a society with such a rich tradition of liberty minded thinkers seems to value individual freedom so little.

You are completly right. You know, that’s why I take closer look at the outside, especially to the US. For example, my fav radio show is Free Talk Live. And I like Ron Paul. He represents nearly 100% of my views on the issues. But over here in Germany, such a politican would not be possible.

I just read a great article by Fitzroy McLean of Without Borders and would like to get your take.

What do you mean exactly?

We need to spread the word indeed. Would it be ok if I contacted you? Thanks.

A German translation would be helpful to spread the message of freedom and liberty over here. That’s really cool.

I didn't even know this gem existed! It is vital to expose the public to the fact that we are all effectively serfs on the plantation of the masters who hold so many in thrall that it is THEY, our FELLOWS who enforce the chains of our servitude by arguing with and attacking US who are guilty of the unpardonable sin of telling the TRUTH! Liberty lies not in the direction of working out in advance all the possible permutations of how a free society would work (though this book goes a long way to answering that!) but in the practice of supporting each other in bringing about the the deep visceral realization that the initiation of violence against others is an IMMORAL ACT and must not be countenanced. For the blows we fear are not the state's in truth but the disaproval of our families, our friends and our fellow 'citizens'. When we have the courage to withstand THAT onslaught, we will be on the road to freedom. Great job Ian! I didn’t even know this gem existed!

More wealth for everyone is a good thing. The free market will close the gap between rich and poor, as government will not be around to confiscate poor people's money and kick out the lower rungs of the economic ladder via regulations.

It isn’t the overall wealth that causes problems. It is the wealth discrepancy that bothers people. Perhaps, but the already-wealthy would also become wealthier.
