How to Stay Free
Democracies have only recently been considered desirable. Historically, it was feared that democracies always self-destruct when citizens–forgetting that you cannot remove want and misery through legislation–insist on government actions that physically and morally bankrupt their nation. In this episode, Friedman explains why the United States has so far avoided this outcome, and how we can continue to do so. This program includes Lawrence E. Spivak interviewing Dr. Friedman.
