A documentary on Netflix shows why the Texas Troublemaker was too good, too wild and too funny for the dying newspaper industry to handle. I talked to the 'left-wing libertarian' in 1996 and 2002.
I like that she considered herself a populist left-libertarian, and wonder whether she ever was exposed to the writings of Henry George ("Progress and Poverty," "Social Problems," "The Land Question," "Protection or Free Trade," etc.) or his once-famous "Single Tax." (I consider myself a "geolibertarian"--"geo" in recognition of the importance of the earth to our economy, and also in honor of George--a brand of left-libertarianism.)
