Episode 170 - Contagion (1:22:08)

We are joined by Raylene Lightheart and her lesser-half to talk about the movie "Contagion" about a global pandemic that some have mistaken as footage of current events. This should be a healthy discussion on a serious topic that will be both thought-provoking and entertaining. With the COVID-19 Coronavirus seemingly creating a panic worldwide where even Costcos in the US are having trouble keeping up with demand, it's a timely movie to be discussing. There is this weird mix of withholding and downplaying information to what appears to be fear-mongering and the use of the handling of the "crisis" as a bludgeon against the opposing sides in an already testy election cycle. Join us next week as we welcome back to the stage, Mr. Mike C. to discuss yet another Michael Mann film, "The Last of the Mohicans". Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/170 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
