Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea (Cato Institute Book Forum, 2011)

Ron Paul Explains Neoconservatism

Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea

“…An obituary—so soon! Surely the reports of neoconservatism’s death are greatly exaggerated. C. Bradley Thompson has written (with Yaron Brook) the most comprehensive and original analysis of neoconservatism yet published and in the process has dealt it a mortal blow.

Neoconservatism reveals publicly for the first time what the neocons call their “philosophy of governance”—their plan for governing America. This book explicates the deepest philosophic principles of neoconservatism, traces the intellectual relationship between the political philosopher Leo Strauss and contemporary neoconservative political actors, and provides a trenchant critique of neoconservatism from the perspective of America’s founding principles.

The theme of this timely book—neoconservatism as a species of anti-Americanism—will shake up the intellectual salons of both the Left and Right. What makes this book so compelling is that Thompson actually lived for many years in the Straussian/neoconservative intellectual world. Neoconservatism therefore fits into the “breaking ranks” tradition of scholarly criticism and breaks the mold when it comes to informed, incisive, nonpartisan critique of neoconservative thought and action. …”

Barack Obama’s Favorite Economist–John Maynard Keynes–A Great Guy?

Posted on November 16, 2009. Filed under: Blogroll, Communications, Economics, Employment, Fiscal Policy, government spending, Investments, Law, liberty, Life, Links, Monetary Policy, People, Philosophy, Politics, Rants, Raves, Resources, Taxes, Video, Wisdom | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Listening to the late Murray Rothbard lecture on John Maynard Keynes, I was struck by how both Barack Obama and Maynard Keynes are very similiar.

The arrogance, habitual lying, changing positions on issues on a dime, use of strawmen arguments, elitism, will to power, and ego mania describe both Keynes and Obama.

Both also share an admiration of fascism, communism and government management of the economy.

Outside of that they are great guys.
