Ep. 79 Stephan Kinsella and Bob Murphy Debate Hans Hoppe’s “Argumentation Ethics”
By popular demand, Bob brings Stephan back on the podcast, this time to debate Hans Hoppe's famous "argumentation ethics" case for libertarianism. Stephan defends Hoppe's claim that any attempt to justify a NON-libertarian system would result in a performative contradiction, while Bob clarifies the argument and raises concerns about it.
