Introduction

Welcome to The Contrarian Libertarian blog! I am a registered libertarian, and a student of Economics and Political Science at Towson University. I subscribe to the Austrian School of Economics, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, Friedrich A. Hayek, and Murray N. Rothbard.

The primary purpose of this blog will be to analyze and critique philosophic, economic, and public policy arguments made by both mainstream and fringe groups, within the United States. Once a week I will post an article, along with my interpretations and opinions. Being a current undergraduate student, it is likely that some of my posts may appear to be nonsensical, or just plain common sense. But, the point here is to reassess and challenge beliefs to which many in our country feel have been settled. I believe that the unexamined life, is not worth living and that the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.

I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback, as this endeavor unfolds.
