Dr. Murray N. Rothbard — American economist of the Austrian School, reformed “big-O” Objectivist, self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist — establishes what constitutes a just war, breaks down the oxymoron of neoliberal “humanitarian intervention” and lectures on “America’s Two Just Wars.” This lecture is in five parts totaling a little under 50 minutes. Seeing as Dr. Rothbard died in early Jan ’95 and his citing of Bosnia and Somalia in this lecture, this has to be 1994?
