Overshadowed by both his brilliant father and the brash and bold Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams has long been dismissed as hyper-intellectual. Viciously assailed by Jackson and his populist mobs for being both slippery and effete, Adams nevertheless recovered from the malodorous 1828 presidential election to lead the nation as a lonely Massachusetts congressman in the fight against slavery.

When William the Conqueror died in 1087, he left the throne of England to William Rufus . . . his second son. The result was an immediate war as Rufus's elder brother Robert fought to gain the crown he saw as rightfully his; this conflict marked the start of 400 years of bloody disputes as the English monarchy's line of hereditary succession was bent, twisted, and finally broken when the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, fell at Bosworth in 1485.

The Lost Art of Liberty takes a look at the modern world, diagnoses the problems we have, identifies the root causes and then puts forward real solutions based on laissez faire capitalism. In other words, what would things look like if government was not involved at all. We have seen the failures of statism and that ultimate failure is upon us all around the world. When it collapses we will have the opportunity to either fall into abject slavery or rebuild the world on the freedom described in the Declaration of Independence. That requires a new way of thinking, a complete change in our ...

Welcome to the Lessons Lost in Time Podcast. I’m Bill Murray. Here, with a few fellow misfits and sharp minds, we’re digging through the wreckage of history—looking at how real leaders dealt with real problems when the stakes were high and the playbook was blank.
