The Mises Institute daily article here features a movie
review of The Duchess staring Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes.
All I wanted was a mindless, romantic escape movie to take my mind off
politics, and Kiera Knightly was just the ticket. In the film, she plays
Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire, who, until that point, I had
never heard about. The story was fairly typical for movies about the English
aristocracy: a young girl marries into power only to find herself trapped in a
loveless marriage, and she falls in love with another man. I did not expect
that, amid the romance, costumes, and drama, I would strike libertarian gold!
