LoL Ep. 19 - "Self-Determination of Peoples" under International Law
In this episode, David and Stratty dive deep into David's recent paper, "Statism's Catch-22: An Austro-Libertarian Analysis of 'Self-Determination of Peoples' under International Law." This paper makes the case that the international law doctrine of self-determination has internal contradictions which place the international system in a catch-22 dilemma. This dilemma lays groundwork for the wholesale delegitimization of statism. You don't want to miss this one!

Customer Reviews
Great insight!
Stratty and David give great takes on topics that get very little real coverage. They take dense legal topics and make them accessible without losing the substance of the matter. Great pod!
Episode suggestions
You guys should do separate episodes discussing Hazlitt’s Foundation of Morality and Aristotle. Focus on the moral ontology and then the implications on legal and political philosophy.
Also an episode on Brandeis as a libertarian...with an open mind to the line of thinking that connects him to the Jeffersonian skepticism of the commercial state, with a focus on how he understood the Progressives to be protecting individual liberty from crony capitalism.
Perhaps also an episode on Roscoe Pound.
Perhaps also episodes on Tara Smith’s Moral Rights and Political Freedom, Jack Balkin’s Living Originalism and David Strauss’s Living Constitution.
One suggestion I would make to you guys is to be more open to a wider set of viewpoints and treat the arguments as worth taking on instead of being so conclusory. I used to be a very narrow minded Rothbardian libertarian, but after surveying the ideological landscape and reading a lot of history and law, I think that libertarianism can be a much wider umbrella and that it has to be if it is going to be relevant outside of our little parochial sects going forward.
Excellent podcast though. I hope you guys grow because we need more conversations like this.
Must listen!
These are two brilliant guys who are passionate and knowledgeable about their topic(s). Absolutely would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in legal theory, especially but certainly not only from a libertarian perspective.
