Lew Rockwell of the Mises Institute

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, April 21, 2006 4pm PST

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Lew Rockwell

Lew Rockwell is the President of the Mises Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that the work of Ludwig von Mises, eminent Austrian Economist, continues to be used as a tool for understanding and directing human action. Mr. Rockwell has a long and distinguished career in free market economics and also in the movement of which the Mises Institute is a part.
Mr. Rockwell also sponsors a daily e-digest of articles that bring together the edge of thought in culture and politics today. You can sign up for this free journal and stay informed about the host of thoughts that are daily changing the world in which we live. lewrockwell.com

Mr. Rockwell is joining us to discuss the impact of economics on our lives through the policies adopted through law. Most Americans fail to realize that like any other tool the underlying assumptions of an approach to any question drive the outcome. Austrian Economics, unlike other disciples that are also characterized as 'free market' does not produce policy because the use of legislated policy is in itself a distortative presence in any marketplace. Your life, whether or not you know it, has been changed by the use of one set of economic tools over another. And you need to know. So join us for what will prove to be a fascinating session!

Afterwards:
The interview with Lew was very informative. Visit the Mises and lewrockwell.com
sites for invaluable insights on how America's financial institutions inpact your life every day.

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Dane Arr

Dane Arr is the only brother of Ron Ridenhour, the 22 year old who wrote the letter to Congress exposing the atrocities of My Lai in 1969. Ridenhour sent on to a career in investigative journalism during which he made a practice of asking hard questions that needed answers.

The interview with Mr. Arr will give you insight into the life of this man whose actions impacted the world in which we live today. Mr. Arr is also an activist and we will explore the threads of experience he shared with his brother and his own insights as well.

From the Ridenhour.com website:

In 1969, Vietnam veteran Ron Ridenhour wrote a letter to Congress and the Pentagon describing the horrific events at My Lai — the infamous massacre of the Vietnam War — bringing the scandal to the attention of the American public and the world.

Ridenhour later became a respected investigative journalist, winning the George Polk Award for Investigative Journalism in 1987 for a year-long investigation of a New Orleans tax scandal. He died suddenly in 1998 at the age of 52. At the time of his death, he was working on a piece for the London Review of Books, had co-produced a story on militias for NBC’s Dateline and had just delivered a series of lectures commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of My Lai.

Dane discussed the project he has undertaken to ensure that his brother's legacy is perpetuated. Contact Dane at: Dane M. Arr , and help made whistleblowing a national sport!
