In this episode, CJ discusses 12 authors who (in his opinion) deserve to be more widely known & read among libertarian/anarchist/etc type people. Most of these authors would not actually identify as "libertarians" or "anarchists," but all have a strong independent streak & have at least some views & attitudes that overlap with libertarianism and/or anarchism. Furthermore, all of them are great writers in their respective genres. Join CJ as he discusses: Montesquieu Alexis de Tocqueville Jose Ortega y Gasset John Dos Passos Jacques Ellul Jane Jacobs Gore Vidal Edward Abbey Mike Res ..read more

CJ took a brief break from slaving away at the next Woodrow Wilson episode to make this Fun-Size DHP episode, talking about a political idea known as 'classical republicanism,' which has been on his mind a lot lately, & which he has always found to be interesting & potentially useful. (Think of this as a 'silver bullet' DHP episode, just minus the silver bullet & with concurrently better audio quality, because CJ no longer commutes daily an hour each way, so he recorded this one at the home studio. But it's like a silver bullet episode in that it's relatively short & is mostly ..read more
