Mark Spitznagel - Libertarianism

Libertarianism

Spitznagel has been a principal supporter of the U.S. Presidential campaign of (Texas Congressman) Ron Paul, a fellow Austrian economics advocate and libertarian who “shares his contempt for the Federal Reserve.” In 2012, Spitznagel hosted multiple fundraisers (including a party at his Bel Air home) for the congressman. Spitznagel has been called “arguably Paul's main economic theorist/popularizer outside an academic context” who “could be Treasury Secretary to a future president Paul, Ron or Rand.”

Spitznagel wrote a 2012 Forbes piece articulating what he called Paul's "archetypal shi strategy," or the indirect strategy of positional advantage employed in the ancient military texts of Laozi and Sunzi as well as in the ancient Chinese game of weiqi.
