About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of airwaves and waterways as private property rather than public property controlled by the government.
For too long, people have thought of the airwaves and waterways as “public” property that is best controlled by government. However, Murray Rothbard and others held that one could apply the institution of private property to both. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/who-owns-airwaves-and-sea
