I was interviewed (remotely and in English, but with Spanish subtitles) for the Club de la Libertad‘s regional conference on economics. The 16-minute interview covers the origins of states, whether the state is a necessary evil or a necessary good, limiting the power of the state, how special-interest exception-making leads to our contemporary expansive state, the proper limits of the state, thoughts on Latin America’s prospects.
