__Richard Maybury: A Libertarian Journalist and Author__
Early Life and EducationRichard Maybury is an American journalist and author known for his libertarian perspectives on American economics, law, and history. Inspired by his experiences as an economics teacher, he embarked on a literary journey to share his unique worldview. Maybury's writings primarily take the form of epistolary essays, often presented as a series of letters from an uncle to his nephew.
Literary Contributions
Maybury's most notable works include "Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career & Financial Security" and "Higher Law, Whatever Happened to Penny." He coined the term "juris naturalism" to encompass his distinct perspectives on economics, history, and law, challenging existing definitions.
Views on Muslim Terrorism
One of Maybury's most controversial arguments is his stance on Muslim terrorism. He vehemently opposes the popular view of Islam as a breeding ground for terrorism, arguing that Muslims have suffered historically as severely as Jews and that so-called terrorism is often a reaction to aggression from Europe and the United States. Maybury highlights the achievements of ancient Muslim civilizations and credits them with preserving Aristotle's philosophical concepts.
Military Service
From 1967 to 1971, Maybury served in the United States Air Forces. As part of the 605th Air Commando Squadron, he saw combat in Central America. Later, with the 75th Military Airlift Squadron, he served in Vietnam. He also worked as an instructor at a USAF base and participated in classified operations.
