Episode 197 - The Godfather (1:11:40)

We discuss The Godfather Trilogy, a story of succession and a metaphor for capitalism where the distinction between mafia and government becomes blurred. We have the great Keith Knight of Don't' Tread on Anyone join us for a review we can’t refuse. The Godfather is an American film series that consists of three crime films directed by Francis Ford Coppola inspired by the 1969 novel of the same name by Italian American author Mario Puzo. This is part one of the conversation and we will be having Keith on again in a few weeks to continue it. Join us next week as we take a less serious turn, and move from a movie masterpiece to a movie that’s barely a movie in Gentlemen Broncos which was a suggestion by our guest next week, Ben “Dirty J” Johnson. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/197 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
