Some mp3s about secession

[Mesogen]

Here are some pro-secession mp3s that just came down the RSS pike from the Mises Institute media feed.

There has been some hay made about secession among a few people around here and I thought it would be nice to pass these along.

I haven't begun to listen to these yet since it's about 3 hours of audio, but I'm sure it'll be interesting while I walk the dog.

They all seem very pro-secession, at least the idea of secession. It looks, based on the titles, that they are under the assumption that secession is a good thing under all circumstances. This is a position with which I disagree, but let's see what they have to say.

I'll say so far I didn't like #1 and I did like #2. The German guy in #1 (Hoppe) seemed to talk about nothing but economics and put everything into terms of production, value, money and economic efficiency without much if any discussion of civil liberties and political freedom. He also seems to think that segregation is a good thing.

#2 (Maltsev) was interesting in that I learned more about Chechnya.
