Wednesday Mar 09, 2016
Wednesday Mar 09, 2016
In this episode of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, host Marc Clair is joined by Trinity College professor and author Ed Stringham to discuss his work "Private Governance: Creating Order in Economic and Social Life". But first, Ed explains how he first became interested in liberty and economic, and how a summer reading list from a past Lions of Liberty Podcast guest lead him on his intellectual journey. Marc and Ed go on to discuss the concept of private governance, the difference between the "government" and "club" models of social organization, and just how Ed sees so-called "private governance" as being able to better cater to the needs of a society more so than the currently accepted legal centralist models. Marc presses Ed on the concerns many might have about a system of purely "private" governance, including how private governance could address issues of justice and individual rights violations.

Greg and Marc go on to discuss a wide range of topics covering everything from 9/11 to the Titanic (yes, there's a conspiracy there!) to alcohol prohibition (and there too!) and take on the "OG" of modern conspiracies by looking at some of the evidence suggesting the moon landing may have been faked. Take a breather from the ins and outs of libertarian philosophy, and get ready to get weird!

In today's episode, host Marc Clair is welcomes in Dr. Jeffrey A. Singer - a physician, columnist, and political activist. Dr. Singer is an adjunct scholar with the CATO Institute, has written extensively on the government's role in the health care industry, and has been heavily involved in political action to limit this role for much of his career. Dr. Singer details why he ended up pursuing the medical profession and how this pursuit ended up coinciding with his burgeoning libertarian philosophy. Marc and Jeffrey then discuss the many ways in which government regulations and legislation have influenced the medical profession, and they dig beneath the surface to attempt to identify the root causes of just how the government has killed the medical profession.
