Episode 226 War, Taxation, Regulation, and the Political Means
About this episode
Tom discusses the disconnect between political campaigning and actual governance through the lens of Oppenheimer's work.
Summary: Trump certainly isn’t the first politician who campaigned hard on an issue and then did precisely the opposite once in office. It’s so regular an occurrence that people construct elaborate theories for why politicians and other government officials do the things they do. Tom suggests looking at all political issues through the prism created by Franz Oppenheimer’s classic book, The State, Its History and Development Viewed Sociologically .
