Politics and thieves, coercion and regulation, fascism and the Fed, centralization and liberty, workers and unions, trade and freedom, free-market achievements and government disasters in American history this book covers it all!
Organized Crime collection of essays in the
tradition of Austrian political economy a
combination of applied economics and the study of
governmental reality. Unlike mainstream economists who are
content to spin mathematical model after mathematical model
which explain little or nothing about the real world,
DiLorenzo s focus has always been just the opposite to use
economic understanding to gain a better understanding of how
the political-economic world works. Austrian economics is
indispensable to succeed at this task.
The book is divided into six sections: Coercion and Regulation analyzes various aspects of government regulation of business; Politics and Thieves is of course about the inherent nature of government; Centralization versus Liberty discusses the never-ending quest by statists to monopolize and centralize political power so as to isolate themselves as much as possible from public influence; Money and the State describes the myriad evils of central banking, which was always thought of by its original proponents in America as an engine of corruption; Workers and Unions discusses various labor union myths and superstitions that too often cloud the public s thinking about the reality of labor markets; and Truth and Lies about Markets is a taxonomy of some of the main market-failure myths that have long been used to illegitimately advance the cause of economic interventionism, as well as some newer ones.
In Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government, Thomas J. DiLorenzo strips away the vast apparatus of establishment propaganda and exposes the government smokescreen. No statist lies are safe from his scrutiny. In his straightforward and methodical approach to uncovering truths of freedom, liberty has a champion.07-30-12 Hour 1 Thomas DiLorenzo (Sr. Fellow at the Mises Institute) (Video Archive):
Hour 2
An Autonomous System Number (AS number or just ASN) is a special number from 1 to 65,535. The magic value 65,535 should tip you off that an AS number is stored in a computer as a 16-bit unsigned integer. An ASN uniquely identifies an autonomous system that has a unique routing policy, or is multi-homed. This autonomous system number is required if you are to run BGP. The ASN must be unique so that IP address blocks appear to come from a unique location that BGP can find and route to. BGP uses Autonomous System Paths (AS Paths) to determine the shortest route to a destination.
Public and Private ASNThere are public ASN and private ASN. RFC 1930 outlines which are private and which are public.
PUBLIC ASN (1 - 65511)
The ASN in the public range are globally unique and may be announced on the global Internet. ASN are used to uniquely identify networks or systems of networks which appear to the outside world to be running a single consistent routing policy. Prefixes are 'seen' to originate from these public ASN by the exterior gateway routing protocol. This ensures that routes lead back to a unique source of a given range of IP addresses.
PRIVATE ASN (65512 - 65535)
The private ASN should not be seen on the global Internet (they shouldn't be announced via your exterior gateway routing protocol). Private AS numbers are used by ISP's who use BGP confederations. Private AS numbers are also used to provide an AS number to customers with multiple connections who have no connections to any other Internet service provider.
Obtaining an ASN
An AS-number must be obtained (leased) from one of the Regional Internet Registries (RIR's). Which registry you obtain your AS number from is based upon where in the world your network resides physically, or where your organization is headquartered, and where will be connecting. You must apply to the RIR to obtain an ASN. ASN's are usually provided for a 'container fee' which is a fancy way of saying that they will charge you money to open an account and place the AS number under your account. The registry needs to cover their operating expenses, and 'container fees' are one way they do that.
You will need to use an online registration page, or the downloadable form commonly called the ASN template to request your AS number (ASN).
Here's where to obtain the template:
There are a limited number of ASN available, so the RIR's are very selective about whom they grant an ASN to. You will need to demonstrate the following:
