Curious show about a free market economist arguing against private property ownership of land, and gold as money.
The argument against gold is that it is an 'abomination against nature' because it does not decay is exactly the reason it was used as a store of value.
The property ownership argument is that the land has all been taken and nothing is left for the current and future non-landowners. The proposed solution of community ownership of the land that is then leased to individuals does not solve the claimed problem of no-land-left-for-future-individuals.
I was waiting to hear how this would be solved but he admitted that it would not be possible.
I almost stopped listening a few times but decided to finish it to hear the full argument. Was left with no answers.
