Why Liberty Takes Character


Listen Later

What’s the best way to teach the principles of economics and individual liberty to people? Is having ‘good character’ a timeless virtue?

Lawrence W. Reed joins us this week to discuss his work at the Foundation for Economic Education and FEE’s history in the worldwide free market movement. He also shares a few stories about ‘Real Heroes’ of liberty.
