How "Little House On The Prairie" Beamed Libertarian Propaganda Into America's Homes
Naomi Oreskes, author of "The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market" joins the program to discuss how "Little House on the Prairie," a beloved book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, was transformed into libertarian propaganda by her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who was a libertarian journalist. J. Howard Pew, a prominent donor, and advocate of unregulated capitalism, was friends with Lane and influenced the stories to promote individual self-sufficiency and discredit the role of government. The series is part of a broader cultural and religious propaganda apparatus constructed by free-market fundamentalists. The Big Myth draws attention to the strategic efforts by libertarian groups, such as bulk book purchases and distribution in schools, to promote Ayn Rand's works and Ronald Reagan's advocacy of free market fundamentalism. These revelations shed light on the influence of right-wing disinformation and the dissemination of free-market propaganda.
