 Rob Larson (@IronicProfessor) is a professor of economics at Tacoma Community College in Washington State and the author of "Capitalism vs. Freedom: The Toll Road to Serfdom." He joins us today to discuss that book. What's the difference between positive and negative freedom, and does capitalism really provide either? Amartya Sen's concept of freedom. The power monopoly capital has over our lives. Libertarianism as protecting the powerful.


Thanks, patrons.

I would be grateful to you if you listen to this. I just started watching his videos, but get the feeling he is a superhero wearing hobo clothes to protect his true identity. He is also a ton of fun to listen to.

This is neoliberalism in a nutshell: "negative freedom is the one you want" - Hayek. The neoliberal mandarins know what we want. Reagan and Clinton, Bush and Obama, Biden and Trump, all neoliberals to the person.
