Show Notes

Join American economist and columnist Walter Williams as he discusses what influenced his unique, and often controversial, perspectives on economics. Williams is a unique thinker.

Although those views are major parts of his philosophy now, he didn’t always hold those views. So what led him to these beliefs? Listen to the full interview in the latest episode of The Free To Choose Media Podcast to find out.
