Episode #332 - The Truth About the Non-Aggression Principle

In the storm of modern politics and public policy, libertarian philosophy offers a soothing and calming influence for those of us who subscribe to it.

While it clearly explains many hot button issues like economic and monetary policy, it also teaches important concepts like sound money and the need for radical decentralization while pointing out the ineffectiveness of many current policies such as the war on drugs and America's never-ending military interventions around the world.

But arguably the most important libertarian concept is the topic of today's episode - the non-aggression principle.
