Episode 42: A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear (interview with Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling)
Brendan and Andrew interview Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, author of A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear, the (unfortunately) true story of a small New Hampshire town that was invaded by both libertarians and bears. Hongoltz-Hetling explains why the libertarians’ free-market utopian didn’t work out well, and why they resist that conclusion. He and the co-hosts also discuss how the libertarian invasion helped lead to the bear invasion and the problematic character of the way in which libertarians understand “individual freedom.”
Plus current-events segment on Russia (recorded on Apr. 28): collusion with Trumpites confirmed; Putin backs down from aggression against Ukraine, Navalny, and the anti-corruption movement.
