Welcome to a new episode of History!
A third way of market radicalism beyond Hayek and Friedman
My name is Hermann Ploppa, and today I introduce you to the economist James McGill Buchanan. Buchanan was a market -radical and racist theorist from the American southern states in the 1950s and 1960s. An important advisor to US President Ronald Reagan and the fascist Junta in Chile.
We are experiencing the fabulous rise of bizarre figures, which even work to the highest government offices. People who were previously completely unknown. And today? There we see an unused rocker types in Argentina, which is waving around with a motor chain saw at campaign events. He wanted to saw the state of Argentina. (Editor's note: Officially, he often hypocritically claimed that he wanted to saw the banks). Javier Milei even won the presidential elections. Political extremists such as Ronald Reagan in the USA and Margaret Thatcher in Great Britain had already done great things to ruin their nation states entrusted to them. And if it is also amazing, it has a method. Because behind all of these eccentric stands, there are strong communities that have set themselves the goal of smashing the state to create space for an absolute, neo-feudal power of the super -rich and the global company.
The misleading concept of "neoliberalism" was circulated for these anti-state and constitutional networks. These networks have been working for one hundred years now. Her founding father is the Austrian nobleman and sociologist Ludwig von Mises. Its best student was Friedrich von Hayek. Since then, countless stems of market radicalism have developed from this trunk. In addition to the school of Friedrich von Hayek, the ideology of Milton Friedman is also known. It was clear to these ideologues that the final victory of their worldview should not be helped immediately and in one fell swoop. Hayek said that at least four generations would be needed for construction work until you get the monopoly of opinion in politics, business, business, science, and the media. Well, this goal has now been achieved. Many new factions have now formed in this monopoly of opinion of the market radicals. The latest and hardest parliamentary group of market-radicals describe themselves as "anarcho-capitalists". According to the anarcho-capitalists, the state is to be completely smashed in favor of the total rule of the oligarchs. The master thinker of this faction is called Murray Rothbard. The new Argentine President Javier Milei pays homage to him.
Of course, the majority of the population will never agree to a program that strives for their own total disenfranchisement and expropriation. So the market -radicals can always be picked up of protest movements or conservative currents in the respective countries. For example, the market radicals in the United States have allied themselves with the evangelicals from the Bible belt to combat the touch of social reforms and to incorporate the United States on an apocalyptic end -time course in foreign policy. In Germany, the market radicals try to undermine and take over parts of the new democracy movement.
And today we talk about a side current of American market radicalism that could be carried up in the southern states of racists and Eugenics. Today we talk about the market -radical and racist ideologist James McGill Buchanan.
In Germany, it is also slowly becoming known, the immense influence of market -radical pioneers on political and social events. The satirical program "Die Anstalt" <1> has made it clear to a broad audience with the enormous power of the discrete economy network of the Mont Pelerin-Gesellschaft. However, there is still a lack of a really differentiated understanding of this unfortunately so successful hegemony project. There is talk of “neoliberalism”. This has its reason that a discrete network of economists formed after the Second World War. In the so -called Mont Pelin Society, however, all possible economic experts gathered. They all only unit the aversion to any form of planned economy.
In the early years of the Mont Pelerin Society, this network also included politicians and economists such as Ludwig Erhard, Alfred Müller-Armack, Alexander Rüstow or Wilhelm Röpke. The economic and social policy of these real representatives of neoliberalism (or also: Oreo-liberalism, or Rhenish capitalism) did not even think of smashing the state as a proactive creative power, privatizing public space or weakening the unions. On the contrary, in accordance with the New Deal consensus of the Eisenhower years and the social state concept by William Henry Beveridge in England, wages and workers' rights with the support of the neoliberals were massively expanded <2>.
But the neoliberals of this era have now died out.
What has remained are those factions of the Mont Pelerin scene, for which the term “market radicalism” fits best. Because the Austrian school around Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek; and on the other hand, the Chicago School around Milton Friedman and Frank Knight are characterized by the radical rejection of a creative, proactive state. They made the liberal school of the 18th century. Both the Austrians and the Chicago faction loathe any influence of the state. Creation of the unions, a radical privatization of the public sector as well as a rigid enforcement of economic principles in practically all areas of life will be directed by magic.( Editor's note: This sentence was meant ironically. The "invisible hand" theory that was meant here is an old lie that has long been disproved).
But there was still a third type of market radicalism.
The path leads us to the southern states of the United States of America. More precisely: in the halls of the scholarship of Virginia. Here, we find James McGill Buchanan. The racist milieu of the southern states is formative for this third type of Buchanan's market radicalism. James McGill Buchanan started his career as a university teacher at the University of Virginia, in the southern states. Virginia is stressed by a heavy mortgage, namely a particularly perfidious form of racism. Racism was levied here from the dull beer hall racism into the status of an empirically proven "science". Using tables and statistics, luminaries of biology, psychology, or sociology said that social policy is senseless because a large part of society is genetically unable to participate in democratic participation. Among the people they wanted to "eliminate" included disabled people, arms, outsiders, cross drivers and, above all, all people who were not considered to be the white men's people. These people had to be sterilized, neutered, locked up for life or on marriage to white men can be prevented by law.
The scientists advised the politicians and authorities to implement such racist-eugenic guidelines into real measures. With the support of the Eugenic University of Richmond in Virginia, racial separation laws were pushed through. The template for the legal texts wrote a certain Harry Laughlin, his signal of the Eugenic Record Office. The Eugenics Record Office collected and published numerous writings that divided people into desirable people and on the other hand into "inferior" individuals. Of course, according to this view, members of the white breed were far superior to the members of the black breed. Or better: the white and the "colored". "Colored" are all Americans who are not "pure -bred" white. White and "colored" were strictly separated. Anyone who had one hundred fourth and twenty-and-reached part of non-white ancestors was considered "colored".
This had consequences over the large pond to Germany. Because the Nuremberg racial laws from 1934 are one-to-one a takeover of the racial laws of the US state Virginia! In recognition of these merits, Harry Laughlin received the honorary doctorate from the Heidelberg University. Laughlin gladly accepted the honor on site in Heidelberg. <3>.
In this tradition there was also that university president Colgate Whitehead Dard. Jr. A wild time dawned. Because racial segregation was unmistakable in all areas of life in the state of Virginia. “Colored” were not allowed to learn and teach at the same schools and universities like their white fellow citizens. The colored students could no longer be felled that the equipment of the universities was mocked for the “colored” of every description. University strikes at the Unis second class found a wide echo in the entire USA. The government of Virginia was not torching for too long. When the protests became very loud, Virginia's governor closed all public schools in the state.
But how should the pacification of schools and universities go on after the compulsory pacification? Perplexity spread.
But a certain Milton Friedman from the University of Chicago apparently had the solution: the parents should receive school vouchers (so -called: School Vouchers), with which they could then send their children to private schools and universities. The fight against racial segregation (segregation) was cleverly used to help the market -radical project of school privatization. School privatization in Virginia was the entry project, where James Buchanan played a key role in participating. Even if the public schools had to open their goals again at the Federal Government in Washington, and school privatization was initially set, Buchanan had set his first plants here.
Buchanan was already a professor at the University of Los Angeles in the 1968 student riots. His hatred of the student revolt quickly brought him to the camp of the new governor of California, a certain Ronald Reagan. With extreme military hardness, it not only used protesting students, but also against peaceful hippies. Among other things, through the acquaintance with Buchanan, his profile as a tough market -radical politician.
( Editor's note: Privatization, the buying up and takeover of public property, began in Germany, for example, in the 1990s. At that time, universities also began charging fees ).
Meanwhile, James Buchanan had created a closed theoretical building. Buchanan is most likely to be known in science through his public-choice theory, which he made public together with Gordon Tullock in the bestseller The Calculus of Consent <4>. In 1986 James Buchanan received the Nobel Prize for the Development of this theory.
In this thought building, people are reinterpreted by Zoon Politon, so to speak, to Zoon Economicon. All political processes can only be explained by economic motives. Politics are degraded to subdivide of the economy. Politicians do not act to serve the common good. Rather, they try to pull material advantages out of political business. According to Buchanan, this shows that politicians are not only diligently pumping government money into the economy in times of economic doldrums, but also in times of the boom, where, according to John Maynard Keynes, the state should remove money from the economy much more to avoid overheating. Because the politicians want to be re -elected. So you have to make yourself popular with gifts from the public cornucopia. This inevitably creates an increasingly blatant state debt.
James Buchanan goes much further than Friedrich von Hayek or Milton Friedman. Because for Buchanan, the state is nothing more than a horde of privateers. The state has no legitimation to snatch their money through tax levies and to throw it up to the citizens . The state has no right to organize retirement and health care itself. This means that this only helps the lazy and incompetent to have fun. According to Buchanan, people who do not complete private pensions - I quote: "Like subordinate members of the species, animals similar to those who live depending on. "
Professor James Buchanan is thus embedded in a long tradition in the history of the United States, but especially in the special features of the southern states. Basically, Buchanan continues where in the 19th century, before the civil war between the southern and north states, the politician and slaveholder John C. Calhoun knew the advantages of the slave owner industry at.
At the time, Calhoun announced extremely aggressively that the Federal Government in Washington was a useless parasite body that is boldly snatched these values to people who create values, and then throws it up. Calhoun liked to forget that he had hardly created his wealth on his own. He pressed his considerable fortune out of the blood and sweat of his unfortunate slaves.
But Calhoun was by no means alone in the USA with his opinion. Conservatism and hostility to the state traditionally make a connection in the United States. Unlike in Europe, where conservatism has always been accompanied by the demand for a strong state.
And exactly this polarity: here is the left who want to reduce social inequalities with a strong proactive state; And there are the rights that want a weak state to expand their privileges can be found in today's political coordinate system of the United States.
( Editor's note: Please forget the distinction between left and right that has been instilled in us today, because that is a lie. Anyone who works for the oligarchs cannot be a real leftist. However, a few years ago the differences and definitions were deliberately swapped and mixed up in order to now offer the ( alleged ) right-wing ideology as a supposed solution and to abolish governments in the process. The traditional left-wing party programs (protecting the interests of the working class) were deliberately mixed with abstruse ideologies, such as gender ideology, in order to create confusion. The false framing of the left as communists is also an age-old trap, because historically, those who advocated democratic rights were first labelled as the left. What is called left today is actually right, and often vice versa. I will have to write my own article about this later, as I cannot find a useful article on the subject. And by the way, the government has the function of balancing the interests between the working class (which does not live off its own capital) and the capitalist class. The abolition of the government then means the absolute power of capital, so that no one can represent the interests of ordinary citizens. )
James Buchanan considered his own milieu to be the measure of all things when he shaped the sentence that was: "Everyone strives for a world of slaves." <6>
Buchanan played the global political events. In the meantime there have been the first countries to which market -radical recipes were forced with brute force. On September 11, 1973, the elected President Salvador Allende was murdered at a military coup in Chile. In his place, a bloody Junta under General Augusto Pinochet took the command.
The role that the economist Milton Friedman and its students played in the transformation of the Chilean Society after the Putsch by Augusto Pinochet in 1973 is generally known. Friedman's "Chicago Boys"; These were economists from Latin America who received their training at Friedman's faculty in Chicago. These Chicago Boys had now been able to try out their market -radical experiments under the toleration rigidity of the Chile population in a complete national economy. James Buchanan has been in charge of the new, authoritarian constitution of Chile's leadership since 1980. From above, he decried the principle of the Junta that the state should be dismantled as far as possible.
Buchanan's power and influence increase when he is assigned his own institute at George Mason University, which is only removed from the federal capital Washington by the Potomac River. Since he has been closely interlinked with the political machine of Ronald Reagan since the late 1960s, Buchanan now enjoys the status of a chief economist with direct access to the White House.
And now the great money is added to the excellent contacts. Because the multi-billionaire Charles G. Koch has long invested in the conservative rollback in the USA. Similar to the industrial tycoon Richard Mellon Scaif, who had put $600 million in right think tanks and politicians alone, Charles Koch also created artificial scientific networks with gigantic funds.
However, since market -radical programs alone cannot generate political movements, they are always happy to let certain conservative protest movements take piggyback. The synthetic market radicals give the earth -growing conservatives the intellectual touch. To do this, the conservatives transport the market -radical solutions to every beer table in the hinterland of Texas. Charles Koch's secret power grew more and more over the years. Koch's funds are so seeped into impenetrable market-radical networks that, in the USA, one speaks of the "Kochtopus" ( "Koch octopus"). In the 1970s, Charles G. Koch had invested in the synthetic, libertarian movement. His brother David even appeared as a vice presidential candidate in the Libertar party he financed. In addition, as their chief ideologist, they had the anarcho-capitalist Murray Rothbard set up. However, the libertarian party did not get beyond the status of a splinter party. The Koch brothers dropped the libertarian party. And from then on invested in James McGill Buchanan as their preferred racehorse. This was all the more worth it because Buchanan was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1986.
Financially lush padded and with direct access to the Oval Office, Buchanan had now reached the summit of his career. But now the deep case followed. Koch had bought the "James Buchanan" label and exploited it unscrupulously for his purposes, regardless of its namesake. Buchanan pulled back to his old part bitterly.
Buchan's history shows how scientists who have internalized the class and prejudices can be tensioned in front of the carts of unscrupulous capitalists. Like a discrete and skillful background work, ensures that the consensus of a fair social policy, which has existed since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
The pendulum vibrates over the decades and centuries again and again from an uninhibited use of privileges to a more socially balanced policy, and back again. At the moment, the pendulum movement is still going further towards an increasingly ruthless concentration of wealth and makes less super rich in the hands. The pendulum swing is repeatedly pushed away from the interested side.
If we understand that, we may let the pendulum swing back in the direction of fairer social regulations.
We learn from history how we do the future better.

PART 2 : The coup in Chile 1973

Editor's note :
The story continues. In a separate article, "The coup in Chile 1973", Hermann Ploppa talks about the experimental abolition of the state in favour of the capitalist globalists, using Chile as an example. He also writes a few words about Indonesia, because it was there, in 1964, that the greedy perpetrators committed the first crimes to test their sick ideology for the first time. Below you will find the translated fragments of this article, which I am publishing here additionally as part 2 :
The coup in Chile 1973
At that time, the socialist Salvador Allende had been in office for just three years. ( ... ) Its politics essentially consisted of distributing the wealth of the country more fairly than before. For this purpose, the copper mines and many other industries were nationalized. The local economy received protection from the restriction of imports. With such a redistribution, there are of course always some people who have to give up something from their wealth. The US foreign secret service CIA turned to these people. As was later determined in congress examinations in Washington, the United States government gave at least ten million dollars to carry out strikes, boycott measures, street blockages and political murders in Chile from <1>. Even before the inauguration of Salvador Allende, General René Schneider was initially kidnapped and then murdered. Schneider had explained that despite sympathy for the United States, the military had to remain loyal to the democratically legitimized government. After this murder, the so-called "Schneider doctrine" was not much worth. Every officer now knew what could bloom when he defended democracy.
( … )
And the friends from the United States of America accidentally dealt with the squad of the new Chilean Secret Service Dina in the United States. Amnesty International assumes that up to 30,000 people in Chile were murdered by the Pinochet fascists.
Why the whole thing? Why didn’t they just let Allende go on?
A geopolitical challenge was certainly not. He was more of a social democratic reformer and would have also cooperated with the USA a bit if they had responded to it. The risk that Chile would switch to the Soviet Union camp was extremely low. The Soviet Union had far too many of its own problems, and its arm was by no means reaching to South America. Back then, South America was still the extended front garden of the United States. And the United States was still able to act against unwilling governments at any time. In addition, the left was weak and split.
No, geopolitics played a subordinate role here. Today, most observers are aware that the coup dated September 11, 1973 was more about enforcing a new radical-capitalist social experiment. In Chile, after the introduction of Pinochet fascism, market-radical experiments were carried out in the toleration of the subject of the subject. The increasingly stronger multinational corporations were a thorn in the side of the simple population should be involved in decision -making processes. That the people may get more of the gross domestic product developed. They massively invested in the new ideology of the free market, incorrectly also called "neoliberalism", as propagandists like Friedrich von Hayek or Milton Friedman tirelessly preached. Hayek found that the state should stay out of all economic decisions. The wise market would be directed by itself. Economic crises only arise if the state interfered in the economy.
In 1944, Hayek asked in his book "The Street to Band" that his supporters should work up in all societies in the world according to the snowball principle within four generations <5>. However, since many governments in this world did not want to bow to the dictum of the sponsors of Hayek and Consorten, the military, foundations and secret services had to help shape. The first market radical outdoor experiment was carried out in Indonesia in 1964. President Achmed Sukarno there was exchanged with American help by the bloodthirsty General Haji Mohammed Suharto. At least half a million opponents of market radicalism have been murdered. The rivers were colored red in those days, filled with freely floating limbs.
Chile was the next open -air experiment of the unleashed market. Wirtschaftsguru Milton Friedman from the University of Chicago had already trained his “Chicago boys” in the 1950s. It was young economists from all sorts of Latin American countries. These squads were now in Chile. All areas of the economy fell victim to privatization. The fascist and market -radical Minister of Labor José Pinera removed the polling procedure, which has been tried and tested from Germany. People now had to deposit with private pension insurance, which speculate on the stock exchange and whose corporate goal was no longer the optimal protection of the insured, but the optimal speculation gain of a few. Consequence: Chile's economy boomed - but not for the majority of the Chileans. The majority of the Chileans plunged into the naked misery. So far, that many Chileans of dog food fed. Friedrich von Hayek was twice in the Horror Empire of the Augusto Pinochet, and he was full of satisfaction:
“As long -term institutions, I reject dictatorships with all the emphasis. But a dictatorship can be the required system for a transition period ” . <6>
Indeed: Economic liberalism and fascism are by no means mutually exclusive. On the contrary: the enforcement of market radicalism is easy to do without the hard club of fascism. As a result, the Hayek's and Friedman's outdoor experiment was now extended to Argentina and Uruguay. After it was then experimentally found that the patient was quite weak, but still alive, market radicalism was lifted onto the big stage: namely since 1979 in Great Britain by Maggie Thatcher and in the USA by Ronald Reagan. In Germany, the market radicals had to wait until the collapse of the GDR <7>. They shamelessly enriched themselves from the wealth of the East Germans at almost no cost.
So strengthened, these kleptocrats now went to suck off the folk assets of all Germans in East and west <8>. Corona policy has now given this thieves a previously unexpected power.

Professor PLoppa does not understand the subject his article discussed, perhaps because of his hostility to individual freedom (couched in his interpretation of "fairness" and "lies".).Having read and reread everything Mises wrote, everything Rothbard wrote, a lot of what Hayek and Friedmamn wrote, and a little Buchanan, I do know the subject. So I'm qualified to criticize.
Underlying free market economic theory is the moral outlook that individuals have (or ought to have) lives of their own, beholden to no one else: no state, or union, or community, or university, or public health tyranny, or "consensus". There is one ethical principle that individuals in society must observe: Live peacefully, without violence or coercion or thrreats.
People are individuals, because nature requires humans to live by making appropriate choices, which requires thinking. Thinking is an individual activity; some think and question carefully and well. Others choose not to think nor try to understand much of anything, hence their love of "consensus".
To live and achieve a morally good life, then, people must be free to think and choose for themselves. Thinking requires freedom to discriminate between sound and unsound ideas and reasoning. Living requires thinking and freedom of choice. If one loses the freedom to act on one's conclusions, including those counter "consensus", one is tempted to give up thinking as a useless mental exercise.
Free market ideas, in varied ways, all explain how a voluntary social/economic order is natural (appropriate to man), benevolent and highly productive. Many people resent such ideas, regardless of reasoning and proof, to the extent they cannot bring themselves to think about the subject.
Rothbard was wrong about his anarchism and some other ideas in economics; Mises' theory of profit was erroneous as was his moral skepticism; Hayek came close to rejecting human volition and the fact of human choice together with morality; Buchanan I don't remember much about. The greatest free market economist is.George Reisman, who improved on and strengthened Mises' economics. He started attending Mises NYU seminar on economics at 16. His magna opus is Capitalism.
Thanks.
