On June 7th, David Boaz died. He was the Executive Vice President of the Cato Institute, author of *The Libertarian Mind*, and the most important figure in the libertarian movement in the last half century. He was also my mentor, my close friend, and, for twelve years, my boss.I had the privilege of holding, for the first two of those years, what is among the most exclusive, challenging, and rewarding jobs in Washington: Staff Writer at the Cato Institute, a role that primarily meant being David's right-hand man and primary conversation partner.David's life and work are worth celebrating, and his legacy worth cherishing. He set the standard for how to live one's principles, lead a profoundly moral life, and change the world for the better while doing it.I'm delighted to bring together a group of my fellow staff writers to talk about what David meant to the libertarian movement, what it was like to work for him, and how he enriched our lives.Aaron Steelman is a Senior Fellow and Policy Adviser at the Cato Institute, and has the honor of being David's very first staff writer.Julian Sanchez has worked as a journalist and policy analyst.Maria Santos Bier is the Director of Foundation and Corporate Relations at the Cato Institute.Andy Craig is Director of Election Policy at the Rainey Center.Want to listen to new episodes of ReImagining Liberty two weeks early?

The Institute of Economic Affairs hosted a Book Club event featuring Michael F. Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, to discuss his book "Recovery: A Guide to Reforming the U.S. Health System." The event was moderated by Tom Clougherty, IEA Executive Director. Cannon provided an in-depth analysis of the U.S. healthcare system, challenging the common perception that it is a free market system. He argued that the U.S. has every form of socialised medicine found in other countries, from employer-sponsored insurance to government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Cannon advocated for market-based reforms to drive down costs, improve quality, and increase access to healthcare. Key topics covered included the role of third-party payers in driving up healthcare spending, the innovations emerging in pockets of the market, and the need to empower consumers to control their healthcare dollars. Cannon also reflected on the life and legacy of David Boaz, the late Executive Vice President of the Cato Institute and a titan of the liberty movement.

Cannon from the Cato Institute challenged perceptions of the U.S. healthcare system as a free market, arguing it encompasses all forms of socialized medicine seen globally. He advocated market-based reforms to reduce costs, improve quality, and expand access by empowering consumer choice over third-party payers. Cannon also discussed emerging healthcare innovations and paid tribute to the late David Boaz's influential libertarian leadership.

Will Bidenomics cripple Joe Biden's chances at a second term? Plus, why is Bill Maher still saying he's a "libertarian"? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart On today's episode, host Brian Nichols is riding solo as he dives into the Biden administration's economic policies and how they have led to rampant inflation that is squeezing American families. Nichols highlights how the excessive government spending and expansion of the national debt under Biden have directly fueled higher prices. He slams the White House for refusing to take accountability and instead trying to paint a rosier picture of the economy. The administration touts ideas like “Bidenomics” while avoiding the true economic pain happening across the country. The episode then shifts to an appearance Patrick Bet-David made on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. Nichols plays a clip where Maher tries to defend his “libertarian principles", but ends up exposing himself as more of a partisan Democrat. Nichols argues that Maher uses the label for edginess without understanding what it truly means. He contrasts this with the consistent libertarian principles espoused by Ron Paul. Nichols ends by emphasizing the importance of believing people when they tell you who they are. He says many so-called “David Boaz libertarians” on Twitter fail to meet voters where they are on the issues. In contrast, Nichols positions himself as a “Ron Paul libertarian” focused on real solutions instead of virtue signaling. If you want to hear a no-holds-barred critique of Bidenomics and fake libertarianism, be sure to check out this episode of The Brian Nichols Show! Nichols brings his signature wit and wisdom to analyzing the critical economic issues impacting Americans right now. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Circa 1990, the late great Milton Friedman gave this eloquent half-hour introduction to his views on economic policy. David Boaz, Cato's executive vice-president, then moderates a free-wheeling policy conversation between Friedman, David Henderson of the Naval Post-Graduate School, Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute, and Hannes Gissurarson of the University of Iceland.

https://youtu.be/ZwWHjYVY4tg In the private sector, firms must attract voluntary customers or they fail; and if they fail, investors lose their money, and managers and employees lose their jobs. The possibility of failure, therefore, is a powerful incentive to find out what customers want and to deliver it efficiently. But in the government sector, failures are not punished, they are rewarded. If a government agency is set up to deal with a problem and the problem gets worse, the agency is rewarded with more money and more staff — because, after all, its task is now bigger. An agency that fails year after year, that does not simply fail to solve the problem but actually makes it worse, will be rewarded with an ever increasing budget. – David Boaz, Liberating Schools: Education in the Inner City (1991, Cato Institute).

I've spent my entire career as what you might call a professional liberty advocate. But the last six or seven years have forced a lot of re-thinking on my part about how best to discuss these ideas in the evolving political landscape. The fundamental case for freedom, grounded in shared dignity and mutual respect, remains strong, but it feels like Americas, and much of the world, have proven more willing to reject it recently. Liberalism is ceding ground to the base desire to use power to reward friends and punish enemies. To help me get a handle on how things have changed, were we stand now, and were it all might be headed, I'm joined today by David Boaz, distinguished senior fellow at the Cato Institute, and my boss for the 13 years I spent at Cato.

Chances are, you've never heard of Don Lavoie. I certainly didn't run across him when I was getting into libertarianism in college, and it wasn't until years into my time working for the Cato Institute that I learned about him from my boss, David Boaz.But Lavoie is arguably the North Star for what the liberty movement needs to become if it wants to reestablish itself in America's shifting political landscape, and if it wants to be more than just a somewhat limited government version of conservatism.So for today's episode, I'm chatting with George Mason University professor Pete Boettke, one of Lavoie's students. We discuss Lavoie's scholarship, his updating of Hayek's Knowledge Problem argument against economic planning, the problems of socialist calculation, and how to build a case for radical liberty within a politically left framework.* Get Don Lavoie's books.* Mercatus video on Lavoie's work and influence.* Boettke and Candela's paper on technosocialism.Support the show and get every episode two weeks early, as well as access to the Discord community and book club.

Libertarianism is a political philosophy based on John Locke's philosophy of natural law, that each is entitled to freedom for oneself and ones property and society should require minimal intervention by government. It is closely associated with individualism but its origins can be traced to ancient China. We explore contemporary principles of libertarianism and offer a brief critical reflection on what is seems to be missing.

Socialism is enjoying a renaissance in U.S. political discourse -- even though candidates who espouse a socialist policy perspective have had mixed results in primary elections and while Americans, as a whole, remain negative about socialism. Gallup recently updated a 1949 question asking how Americans define socialism. In this episode, two very different experts offer their opinions on the matter. David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute, and Dr. Susan Kang, a leader of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, weigh in on what socialism means and what its future in U.S. politics might look like.

Berkeley, California—The home of the “Free Speech Movement” became a center of attention last year when writer and professional provacateur Milo Yiannopoulos ignited protests on campus – testing the city's tolerance of viewpoints outside the progressive orthodoxy. Libertarians, for the most part, have found common cause with these speakers in opposing the new threats to free speech. As Anthony Fisher of Reason has pointed out, groups like Antifa have resorted to violence against innocent parties, and labeled anyone to the left of Bernie Sanders as “fascist.” Unfortunately, the left-wing reaction has caused some libertarians to over-sympathize with members of the so-called “alt-right,” whose aims are also opposed to a free society. David Boaz is Executive vice president of the Cato Institute and author of The Libertarian Mind, The Libertarian Reader, and Libertarianism: A Primer. He visited Berkeley in February to give a warning to students who might be seduced by the alt-right, and to explain why the reactionary philosophy is incompatible with libertarianism. While libertarians have reason to be frustrated by the status quo, there is a danger of this anger congealing into hatred. “Ultimately,” Boaz says, “libertarianism is about peaceful cooperation―markets, civil society, global trade, peace, so it just isn't angry enough for some people.” He joins Bob to make clear how alien the alt-right's thinking is to a truly libertarian mind.

David Boaz traces the history of libertarian ideas from the earliest known instances of libertarian thought to the Medieval period.

Bob does a regular show with a very special guest ? a walking embodiment of the libertarian ethos: David Boaz. Since joining the Cato Institute in 1981, Boaz has been pivotal in transforming the once-obscure think tank into a powerhouse ? setting the gold standard for libertarian public policy analysis. More than 15 years ago, at a time when far fewer people had even heard of libertarianism, Boaz wrote and edited a volume titled Libertarianism: A Primer. Today, most voters know the contours of what a libertarian is, but a majority still do not identify along said lines. Clearly, given the iron-clad moral and logical reasoning behind libertarian ideas, the message clearly has not gotten far enough. But we may be near a tipping point if Boaz is correct about the "Libertarian Moment," to which he synced the arrival of his revised version of his Primer, The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom. Tune in for the full hour, this Sunday at 9am Pacific to hear Boaz's evidence that the iron is now hot for the movement to strike with bold free-market solutions.

John Allison will discuss "The Philosophical Fight for the Future of America"—the battle of ideas and morality between Progressive collectivism and free market capitalism that will define the future well being of America. These divergent world views are not reconcilable and lead to radically different public policy outcomes. Cato’s president will examine the threat posed by the proliferation of statist ideas, as well as ways to increase public understanding of the merits of individual liberty and limited government.Next, Michael Cannon will discuss the important Halbig v. Burwell decision—a ruling that could lead to the ultimate repeal of Obamacare. In the landmark decision, the D.C. Circuit ruled the president has no authority to tax, borrow, and spend tens of billions of dollars to mask from consumers in 36 states the true cost of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's overpriced health insurance. If the court's ruling stands, millions of Americans will feel the full cost of their Obamacare coverage and will demand thatCongress reopen and possibly repeal the law.Finally, David Boaz will discuss the future for freedom in America. From the rapid rise to prominence of first-term Senator Rand Paul to the state-level movements to legalize gay marriage and marijuana, the philosophy of fiscal conservatism, social liberalism, and restrained foreign policy seems to be gaining currency in American politics. In light of recent setbacks for individual liberty, Cato’s executive vice president will discuss how we can get back on the path to freedom, free markets, limited government, and peace at this auspicious "libertarian moment."

One of the world's greatest economists, Milton Friedman, passed away on November 16. Friedman did groundbreaking work on the economics of monetary policy, inflation and unemployment, exchange rates, and lifetime savings. He was also one of the 20th century's most vigorous and effective advocates of individual freedom, on issues ranging from school choice to the draft to drug prohibition — which is why the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty was named in his honor. Please join us Monday as Cato executive vice president David Boaz remembers a few of the highlights of Friedman's illustrious career and introduces an episode of his pathbreaking television series, Free to Choose.
