EPISODE 305: World's Slowest Police Videos

We are joined by Quinn Slobodian — author of Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy — to discuss the libertarian extremism that forms the intellectual foundation for right-wing movements. We can see how the fringe beliefs of anarcho-capitalists — like Murray Rothbard (neo-confederate secessionist) and David Friedman (medieval LARPer) — are gaining broader influence, even becoming mainstream. On one hand, they are raving lunatics, ideological zealots, and explicit racists. On the other hand, the utopias they desire can be found manifested in the zones and policies — like gated communities and gutted education systems — that have been surging for decades.

Leaked And Guilty

This week on Grubstakers we're discussing the billionaire who made a killing in the US gun market, Gaston Glock. Hear all about how this Austrian former Hitler Youth member got a government subsidized start building his glock 17 in Austria then plied police officers all across the United States with booze and prostitutes in order to get them to switch over their standard issue firearm to his brand. There's also tax dodging, a family feud, attempted murder, constant spree killings in the USA, and so much more. Our primary source for this ep was the book "Glock: The Rise of America's Gun" by Paul Barrett
