Freedom Under Fire—The Weekly Roundup

Contribute to Politicology at politicology.com/donate To unlock Politicology+ visit politicology.com/plus In this week’s wide-ranging Roundup, Ron Steslow and Nick Gillespie (Editor at Large at Reason) discuss why it’s essential to engage with libertarian values—especially in this moment. They talk about the current assault on due process and how immigration is central to what America is and what it means. They discuss the FTC lawsuit against Facebook, the collision between The Trump Administration and “New Right” ideas about economics. Then, they look at rising economic resentment and consider how well free-market capitalism is working right now. Finally, in Politicology+ they discuss AI, what it’s doing both for us and to us, and our relationship with what it means to be human. Not yet a Politicology+ member?
