Thanks for the comment! Yeah, Rose Wilder Lane was amazing. There were three great women social philosophers in the 20th century: Rose Wilder Lane, Ayn Rand, and Isabel Patterson. And they never get credit. Lane's book was "The Discovery of Freedom." Ayn Rand: "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged." Patterson: "The God of the Machine."
This was refreshing. Thank you for a thoughtful, insightful audio article on Rose Wilder Lane. I am struck by the fact that Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter learned, by first-hand observation in Russia, that the single force that has always enslaved people is "dogmatic adherence to central authority. No society that turned its back on individualism could ever be free."
