Top Five GOVERNMENT Crimes That Will Change How You Think.

Download at libertyordeath101.substack.com Most of us were taught to see government as a necessary, if imperfect, institution. We learn in school that it exists to solve collective problems, protect the public from exploitation, and generally act in the public interest. It’s the agency we turn to when markets “fail” or when crises strike, a benevolent force designed to correct society’s flaws.

But what if that foundational belief is wrong? What if, instead of being a solution, the state itself is often the primary source of the very problems it claims to solve? In his book, Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government, economist Thomas J. DiLorenzo dismantles this conventional wisdom. His work, part of the “Austrian School” of economics, rejects the “Nirvana fallacy” of condemning real-world markets by comparing them to an impossible ideal, only to then prescribe an equally impossible “perfect” government as the solution. Instead, DiLorenzo argues that many of the government’s most celebrated functions are, in reality, mechanisms for plunder, corruption, and control.
