This video explores the political thought of Vilfredo Pareto, a classical liberal often misunderstood as a precursor to authoritarianism. We trace the roots ofconflict theory in liberal thought, from Bastiat to Rothbard, and show how Pareto's elite theory offers key insights into how power operates in society.
Far from being a statist, Pareto opposed imperialism, defended property rights, and criticized the cowardice of the ruling class. His work remains vital for anyone seeking to understand how elites shape politics and how true liberalism can push back.
