Tomorrow I’m off (meaning I turn west instead of east off of Donahue) to the Austrian Scholars Conference, where I’ll be giving a talk on American Revolution and the Spectre of Anarchy: The Hamilton-Seabury and Price-Lind Debates.

Woo-hoo! A PDF instead of a .doc file 🙂
On page 19: absurdly, as Price supposes
I think you mean absurdly, as Lind supposes
Yup. Also, when I refer to tights at one point, I mean rights.
Freud would have a field day with that one… 🙂
Hi Roderick.
Off-topic: I was just browsing the yahoo archives of the ALL group: in one of your posts you describe Wittgenstein’s “Parable of the trees” as a brilliant defense of private property. I’m not familiar with his work and haven’t had any success finding this parable with Google. Can you show me the way?
You might be thinking of the “Parable of the Bees”.
Or you might be thinking of Rush’s song about trees.
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all made equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
Both illustrate the problem of socialism from different angles.
I quote the Wittgenstein parable here.
I believe that Nozick uses the trees example in ASU.
I don’t recall Nozick using it, but I used it in a piece about Nozick.
You’re right, I got them mixed up.
Hi. Just found the blog. And very interesting PDF, thanks.
