About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of anarchotyranny and its implications for legal equality in society.
People are, in the Anglo-American legal tradition, supposed to be equal before the law. This isn’t always the case. ‘Anarchotyranny’ denotes an arrangement where some groups are allowed to operate with near legal impunity, while other groups incur severe penalties for minor infractions. The Gwartney team discusses recent developments that seem to indicate that we’re headed for an anarchotyrannical future. Listen in!
