The Libertarian 5 Commandments

By Alex Merced

To understand this post make sure to read this article about Elizabeth Warrens 11 Progressive Commandments.

While many libertarians like to keep it simple with basically one rule, the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle). I figured I’d take my stab at a good set of Libertarian commandments

 

# 1 – Individuals have the right to make choices regarding their property (body, fruit of labor, justly acquired property)

# 2 – Individuals don’t have the right to make choices regarding the property of others

# 3 – Individuals have the right to enter voluntary contracts of their liking with each other and have those contracts judged by a body of their mutual choosing

# 4 – Violence is only legitmatley used as a response to violence, The Initiation of Violence is NEVER just

# 5 – Markets are an efficient and more equitable way to distribute wealth than the alternative, and markets are an efficient conduit of knowledge. Individuals have a right to voluntarily form markets where they are demanded

Video Series on Economic Indicators

Video Series on Economic Indicators
By Alex Merced

I’ve been doing videos on economic theory for years at LearnEconomicsNow.com but am now doing a project more geared towards application of economic knowledge.

Last weekend I picked up the book “the secrets of economic indicators”, and decided to do a series of videos about all these indicators.

In these videos I discuss these indicators impact on the market, what they tell you about the economy, and how they are put together.

I have created a playlist just for this series which you can find at indicators.learneconomicsnow.com.
