Leonard P. Liggio was the Executive Vice President of Academics at the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, a Distinguished Senior Scholar at the Institute for Humane Studies, and a Research Professor at George Mason University’s School of Law. In this lecture from 1983, Liggio talks about popular perception of the Libertarian Party at the time, and presents that case for libertarianism as refreshing alternative to the traditional right/left divide in politics, especially when it comes to foreign policy and war. He also highlights Hayek's distinction between law and legislation and cites several of Hayek's influences on spontaneous order theory.
