“Legitimate government is logically impossible,” according to Larken Rose. Listen to this interview conducted by Tom Woods, noted author and Mises.org associate. Mr. Rose was unknown to me until Albert J. Nock (a pseudonym used by a reader) referenced him in a recent comment. I was fascinated by the above interview because I know and respect Tom Woods.  Woods is not comfortable [...]
