Dumb and Dumber on the Actual Anarchy Podcast. We bring on contributor Scott Albright to discuss this film from a Rothbardian and Bastiatian perspective. At first glance, one might think a comedy with Jim Carrey lighting farts on fire might not have much to discuss in the way of libertarianism and economics, but that would be incorrect my friends. We go just over an hour discussing this classed from the 90’s that inspired so many terrible sequels.
You can find Scott’s work on this site, as well as the Front Range Voluntaryist.
The Google info:
Imbecilic best friends Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) stumble across a suitcase full of money left behind in Harry’s car by Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), who was on her way to the airport. The pair decide to go to Aspen, Colo., to return the money, unaware that it is connected to a kidnapping. As Harry and Lloyd — who has fallen in love with Mary — are pursued across the country by hired killers and police, they find both their friendship and their brains tested.

Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com
Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective.
We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
