Keynesian economics is really just models and numbers and how things would work in a laboratory, not how things work in the real world.  The beauty of Austrian economics is [that] it studies how things work in the real world.  Economics is not a predictive science, okay?  You can't say, "If we do this, this is what's gonna happen."  It is a descriptive science; in other words, it describes what's going on.  Austrian economics says the economy runs itself, and all that we're trying to do is understand how the economy really works.

I think, as a society, though, I think more and more people are starting to question this idea that the government can do anything, [that] it has some sort of magical power to solve all of the problems; in fact, I think more and more people are coming to the conclusion that government is the problem.

Then I realised that it really is a philosophy that we're talking about, you know—the nonaggression axiom, that the government should be bound by the same moral laws that the rest of us are.  Once you realise that, you're like, "Oh!"  Your entire world opens up, and then your entire paradigm changes.

There is no way to sort-of compartmentalise human liberty into "okay, I have social liberty and I have economic freedom."  No, they're the same thing.  You have—  If you don't have economic freedom, you don't have personal liberty, and vice versa, if you don't have personal liberty, you don't have economic freedom, either.

Once you come across Rothbard, it's all over with.  The arguments he makes are so logical and they're so faultless that you really can't disagree with him.

I think nullification would be a very good thing.
