Show Notes

What is the most basic unit of our society which our values and norms are built around? For James Buchanan, that unit is the individual.

Laws and systems should be built around the protection of those individual rights in an effort to preserve liberty. What influenced these ideas, and how can they still be applied today? Listen to the latest episode of The Free To Choose Media Podcast to find out.
