Between the Lines: A Literary Deep Dive
Our Enemy, The State: Examining the Overreach of Government.
18 Feb 2025
"Is the State a protector or a predator? Join us as we delve into Albert Jay Nock's classic work, Our Enemy, The State, a scathing critique of the ever-expanding power of government over individual and social power. First published in 1935, Nock's analysis remains strikingly relevant today as we examine the historical origins of the State, its inherent tendencies towards exploitation, and its impact on individual liberty and economic freedom. We'll explore Nock's key arguments, including the distinction between 'government' and 'the State', the conversion of social power into State power, and the State's tendency to prioritize its own interests over those of society. Whether you're a seasoned libertarian, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about the nature of political power, this podcast will challenge your assumptions and encourage you to think critically about the role of the State in the 21st century.
