On this episode of Future of Freedom, host Scot Bertram talks with Erik Matson, deputy director of the Adam Smith Program in the Department of Economics at George Mason University. The Adam Smith Program "explores the moral and economic philosophy of Smith and related thinkers, through professional scholarship, doctoral dissertations, graduate seminars, reading groups, and special projects." Matson talks about the philosophies of Smith and why they're still relevant today, why we should trust people to make the right decisions, and whether free markets have a P.R. problem. Also, what the heck is the "invisible hand," anyway? You can find more at adamsmithprogram.org.
