Our first feature for the blog will be, as the title suggests, Amanda BillyRock's series "Economics in One Lesson." Amanda is, from my understanding, a libertarian/anarcho-capitalist and provides commentary on topics from this perspective on her Youtube channel, website, and other mediums. If you wish to learn more about libertarian and anarcho-capitalist ideas, I personally think her content is a good place to start. And since I think libertarian ideologies are rarely understood by most people, I feel that featuring a libertarian in the first article is a good way to get this blog rolling. Even if you are not a libertarian, I am not, it will prove advantageous to yourself when discussing politics with a libertarian (anarcho-capitalist in this case) to actually know what you are talking about.
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
~Sun Tzu
Wise words for anybody wishing to engage in debate with the opposition, no matter your political persuasion.
In this series Amanda illustrates and provides commentary about economics from the perspective of Henry Hazlitt.
Henry Stuart Hazlitt was an American journalist who specialized in economic topics for such leading publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Nation, The American Mercury, Newsweek, and The New York Times.

Feel free to discuss what you think about the series, a particular chapter, or what is being proposed at any point in the videos. I am not an economist so I would be curious to read what people have to say.
