Goldwater was friends with Milton Friedman and both of them were great liberty nerds.

When Goldwater was basically a neo-con and Milton Friedman says Keynes "was one of the greatest ever economists." And where Ayn Rand used the Labor Theory of Value to defend IP and where she said "Big Business was the most persecuted minority in America" :rolleyes:

Here are Miltons words,
1951
Interviewer: Do you think Keynes's objective was to try to save capitalism?

Milton: No. Keynes's... objective like my objective was to contribute to the well being of society. I am a great admirer of Keynes. I think he is a great human being and a great economist. I don't agree with the particular hypothesis he offered about the Depression, but advances in every science come from people offering hypotheses that turn out wrong.

Nothing good came from Keynes and economics. It set back real economics decades... and is a justification for the State in every instance.

Milton Friedman Unraveled by Murray N. Rothbard (http://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard43.html)

Keynes and Keynesianism (http://mises.org/media.aspx?action=category&ID=130)


Is Milton Friedman a Keynesian?: An Analysis of the Chicago School by Roger W. Garrison

I think you should go back and look at some history on Goldwater. You really think Goldwater was a neo-con?

Yeah. His book is on my shelf.

Betrayal of the American Right (http://www.mises.org/Books/betrayal.pdf)


I could, however, play only a very small direct role in the stop- Goldwater crusade. The Standard was now defunct, and so the most I could do was to write in the Southern California anarcho-Randian newsletter, The Innovator, warning the readers of Goldwaterite war and fascism (which can be defined, after all, as global war, anti-Communist crusading, suppression of civil liberties, and corporate statism disguised in free-market rhetoric—which delineated the New Right). I succeeded, however, only in alienating the stunned readership. pg 189

Just search "Goldwater" through the whole article. Or read it all.

I could give you other "greats" of our time that didn't agree with each other but respected the other. Tesla and Edison would be two, one thought AC was the way to go with transmission and the other DC. AC won out but DC works with induction motors.

SO they both admired each other for their contributions but in certain circumstances one or the other was wrong. It's a Grand Experiment either way.

And I'm a Free Market type with little if any government involvement.

He's never held numerous positions. You are mistaken.

Milton blamed the US being on the "Gold Standard" for the great depression. He supports the Keyesian view of the Business Cycle basically. / Monetarist.

Milton has stated that the Fed didn't keep pace with the amount of gold we had and that the government reduced the amount of currency available by 1/3. We had taken in a large amount of gold from the UK in that period and the idiots didn't print enough money to cover it which in turn was reported and the masses created the run on the banks, causing about a third (4,400) of the banks to fail.

Milton doesn't support government spending and he's made that comment too many times to count. He supports the spending of those engaged in Capitalism.

Who brainwashed you? Because in my world I wouldn't have an income tax, neither would Milton.

Fail.

Is that you Lew Rockwell? :confused:
Goldwater was not a neocon. Once again the word neocon is being thrown around irresponsibly. In the heart of neoconservatives, they believe in a global 'democratic' order where goods and services can move "freely", under their supervision of course. To a neo, every downtrodden third world locale reeks of capitalization opportunities. The establishment of "democracies" is a red herring for their lust for new markets to exploit and control.

Furthermore, being opposed to hostile communism doesn't immediately throw you into the neocon camp. For the historical revisionists out there, the Soviet Union had acted like an expansionist regime (just ask the poor Eastern Europeans) for decades. So paleoconservatives were faced with a horrible choice, once the events of WWI forced the US into a global stage, later culminating with the Marshall Plan and NATO many years later. Paleos never wanted to be entangled with the affairs in Europe but after the bungling of Wilson and FDR, it became inevitable. Being pitted against the Soviets never metamorphized into a choice, given the shortsighted conduct of our political leaders years prior.

Also, much later in '79, Goldwater bravely spoke up against the CFR and their questionable motives:

I got that. I said "Shut up." and laughed.

...you log into Youtube and your subscription section is all full of the same latest Ron Paul or Peter Schiff video.

This is me. :D

... you hear 'bottom up' but don't think of chugging beer.
... you hear 'top down' but don't think of convertibles.

"When you can't decide whether to choose paper or plastic at the checkout."

No, this is more a Green Party problem.

. . . you laugh harder at this thread than the latest "cute kitten" video.
. . . the local newspaper editor is beginning to use your phrases in his own editorials.
. . . people you have never seen before know who you are and start casually talking to you about Ron Paul as if you were old friends.
. . . You introduce yourself to the sheriff and he says, "I know."

That last one was really creepy.

...your 'right leaning' friends tell you about The Left's every travesty and your 'left' leaning friends tell you about every Right Administration leak; you agree with both of them, but vote with neither.

Haha I'm gonna have to do that.
I usually make people answer trivia questions "Who here can tell me who Ron Paul is?" or "What is the Federal Reserve" and whoever gets it right gets to harvest my crops.
:D
