In the fourth episode of his "Kranky Notions" podcast, Jeff Riggenbach examines -- with profuse quotations from the text -- a mostly forgotten short novel from the 1930s that should interest contemporary libertarians. http://liberty.me
Jeff Riggenbach (1947-2021) was a journalist, author, editor, broadcaster, and educator. A member of the Organization of American Historians and a senior fellow at the Randolph Bourne Institute, he wrote for such newspapers as the New York Times, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle; such magazines as Reason, Inquiry, and Liberty; and such websites as AntiWar.com, Reason.com, and RationalReview.com. His writings include In Praise of Decadence (1998), Why American History Is Not What They Say: An Introduction to Revisionism (2009), and Persuaded by Reason: Joan Kennedy Taylor & the Rebirth of American Individualism (2014). Drawing on vocal skills he honed in classical and all-news radio in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Houston, Riggenbach had also narrated versions of numerous libertarian works. (Source: Mises.org)
