I studied Philosophy under Dr. Diane Harvey, focusing on ethics. She was close to a Kantian Deontologist and believed in Capitalism absolutely. I'm so grateful for that background. A favorite book of mine came from The Mises Institute ( Ron Paul's campaign got me there. 😊) "Ethics of Liberty" by Murray Rothbard. I love how one thing + one thing leads to another 🎶🎵 and brings us back around, only not to the same place.

Libertarian Philosophy and their analysis of Actual Economics is awesome. I was strange in that I never thought communism/socialism would work, having a subconscious understanding of Private Property being the foundation of civilization. Was mostly thinking, "How can you spend money that you don't have?" "Ethics of Liberty" is on my to-read pile, I've got a book hoarding problem. Was essentially following a framework of Absurdist Christian Deontology (I'm very much informally and casually informative on Philosophy). Funny since I was exploring so much of Stoicism and Virtue Ethics. Now I frame AnCap within the context of Christian Virtue Ethics.
