He also invoked a Cold War-era statute to deport a student activist at Columbia University. In this episode, Adam Cox of New York University and Ilya Somin of George Mason University join to discuss the scope of the president's deportation power and to evaluate whether the administration violated the due process or speech rights of the deportees.

On this episode of the Bharatvaarta podcast, we talk to Manish Sabharwal, former independent director at the Reserve Bank of India, explores India's economic and educational reforms over the last few decades. He discusses the impact of city-based growth on GDP, the comparison between India's and China's stock market performance, and the complexities of creating mass prosperity. The discussion covers India's reform agenda, including the significance of NEP 2020, the role of regulatory cholesterol, and the challenges posed by modern state populism. Sabharwal emphasizes the need for continuous, incremental reforms, formalization, and the crucial role of urbanization, industrialization, financialization, and human capital in ensuring sustained economic growth.

June 4 marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China. Usually, Hong Kongers take the lead in commemorating this event with massive candle light vigils. But, since China imposed its national security law in 2020, public criticism of the regime in Beijing has become dangerous. With their freedom of speech at risk, many have since fled to Taiwan. A self-imposed exile for those who hope to carry on the fight for civil liberties from across the Taiwan Strait.

http://www.patriciacori.com/ Hacking the God Code: The Conspiracy to Steal the Human Soul By Patricia Cori In this apocalyptic masterpiece, Patricia Cori reveals the epic battle for the soul of humanity, waged between the forces of darkness and light. Never has the conflict been more intense and the outcome more crucial for the very survival of our species and the evolution of our world. Hacking the God Code delivers what Cori calls a “booster shot of truth” to all who are ready to hear it. It exposes the sinister web of lies and manipulation that has been perpetrated upon humanity at all levels of society and the institutions we have been taught to trust. At this time of incredible upheaval, she exposes the tactics of a corrupt and unfathomably ruthless global cabal, whose aim it is to enslave us by destroying our precious DNA connection to God-Source energy. With the determination of an investigative journalist and the passion of a spiritual warrior, she brings to light the agenda of the New World Order and its “Global Reset,” and how it is targeting every soul on this planet. With the unshakable belief that the truth shall set us free from even the darkest manifestations against the human race, she offers critical solutions for healing, for finding the strength to fight back, and for manifesting a clear direction for the light teams amongst us to be empowered and liberated from fear for their health, the future of their children, and their very lives. We are in Armageddon, she affirms: a spiritual battle of darkness and light. “Only from that place of immutable strength can we reverse the destructive course set for us by a global political class of swarms of minions, who are dedicated to those who rule over them,” asserts Cori. “If we are to liberate ourselves from its grip, we must overcome any sense of powerlessness that still deters us.” In the second part of the book, Patricia offers critical tools for healing and for mental/spiritual purification. Leveraging the power of sacred geometry and sound, meditation and visualization, we can regain our sovereignty and harness the invincible power of God/Source to banish the forces of evil from our sacred Mother Earth. And to do that, she says, is not only our right, it is our destiny. Within 24 hours of launching, the book hit #1 Best Seller status in six Amazon categories, including: Evolution, Political Freedom, Genetics, Free Will and Determinism Philosophy, and Health Care Delivery. Hacking the God Code: The Conspiracy to Steal the Human Soul is distributed by Ingram and is available at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and booksellers worldwide. About Patricia Cori Patricia Cori is an internationally acclaimed author, public speaker and thought leader with 13 published works in over 22 foreign editions. The former host of the popular BBS radio show, Beyond the Matrix, she has been a guest on hundreds of radio and TV programs, including CNN and Coast to Coast AM.

Discredit, disrupt, and destroy. That is how the government plans to get rid of activists and dissidents who stand in its way. This has always been the modus operandi of the FBI (more aptly referred to as the Federal Bureau of Intimidation): muzzle anti-government sentiment, harass activists, and terrorize Americans into compliance.

Should the EU stop issuing Russian citizens tourist or even working visas? Discussion with Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University and the author of Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom. This is a public episode.

Commentators across the political spectrum are scrambling for the hottest take on the raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, with Jonah Goldberg and Kurt Schlicter taking opposing views. But only the libertarians like Neily are consistent in condemning abuses of government power across the board.If only there was a way to step back from heated partisan debates and the 24-hour news cycle to assess what is fundamentally wrong with our democracy and propose a remedy. Indeed, my wish has been answered in the form of another brilliant thought experiment from the National Constitution Center, which assembled a libertarian version of the Dream Team to lay out a plan for Restoring the Guardrails of Democracy. They also solicited reports from Progressive and Conservative teams, but this Sunday my show will focus on the Team Libertarian's report.Team Libertarian includes both Clark Neily and Walter Olson of the Cato Institute, as well as frequent guest and friend of the show, Ilya Somin, who returns this Sunday to summarize the team's findings. The report puts a strong emphasis on criminal justice reform – something that the former President is likely to appreciate more now that he has been a victim of overzealous prosecution and the weaponization of the law. Their solution involves greater citizen participation, mainly through the restoration of jury trials as the norm in criminal cases, as opposed to plea bargains.Team Libertarian also takes Ilya Somin's ideas in Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom as a meaningful way to strengthen small-d democracy. Ballot voting, of course, is only one component of a healthy democratic system. When “voice” fails, citizens need many “exit” options to guarantee their liberties.
Christians have a secret: hope in Christ gives us the ability to endure everything life throws our way. But what about economic and political freedom? Doug and Norman tackle an important and oft-asked question about what kind(s) of freedom we are advocating for. Can we be free when we're living in tyranny? Or should we pursue political freedom as well? Notes: If you or someone you know has more questions about Christian libertarianism make sure to check out Faith Seeking Freedom!

The Cale Clarke Show - Today's issues from a Catholic perspective.
Former Canadian ambassador to China, David Mulroney joins the Cale Clarke Show to talk geopolitics, religious freedom, & more. He speaks about his experience as ambassador and discusses the pressure that China is putting on the rest of the world. He discusses religious freedom and the lack thereof in China. David talks about while China has changed, it is the last of the empires and consistently persecutes countless religions and denominations. Through it's use of technology during the 2022 Winter Olympics China has displayed the tyranny of tomorrow. The Catholic Church has deep roots in China, and Cale discusses with David, the current state of the underground Catholic Church and the Patriotic church. Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, China is interested in global domination but not global leadership. Will China use this war as a way to annex Taiwan? David does not think so and explains why. Resources mentioned: Middle Power Middle Kingdom by David Mulroney https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Power-Kingdom-Canadians-Century/dp/0670068187
Professor Ilya Somin stops by Supreme Myths to talk about his excellent book “Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom,” the differences between originalism and living constitutionalism, and he defends George Mason naming its law school the Antonin Scalia Law School despite my arguments that Justice Scalia should not be honored in that way.
Ilya Somin, Professor of Law at George Mason University, and the author of Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom, joins host T.J. O'Hara on Deconstructed to explore migration between cities, states, countries, and even within the private sector to escape government barriers, overreach, and oppression. Professor Somin is a broadly published author and political commentator whose work has been featured by virtually every major media outlet both in print and on the air. His new book dissects migration at every level and the value it can bring. Mr. Somin provides a succinct definition of what he means by “foot voting,” which is essentially as it sounds: improving one's ability to favorably impact his or her life by moving to a more promising location or investing in an outside service. In his opinion, the less restrictive the regulation of movement, the better. It is an interesting discussion about a serious issue in today's world, particularly as the refugee issue is about to explode because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As a side note: Professor Somin has “put his money where his mouth is” in a very positive way. He is donating fifty percent of the proceeds of his book sales to support a refugee fund.

India is experiencing a devastating second wave of the pandemic. Indeed, the country appears to be going through one of the darkest moments in its post-independence history with new records broken every day for new cases of Covid-19. There are also growing concerns that even these staggering numbers that have been officially reported are in reality an undercount. And then there is the crippling shortage of life-saving supplies such as medical oxygen.Critics claim that the Indian government has ignored numerous red flags in recent months and disregarded scientific opinion. Thus, some have argued that Indians are now paying the price of government inaction while others have pointed to the historical neglect by successive ruling parties to invest more in health.The image of India as a country experiencing rapid economic growth and lifting millions of people out of poverty has of late been replaced by pictures of funeral pyres.How did it come to this? And how capable is the Indian state at responding to major crises?Patralekha Chatterjee is an award-winning journalist, columnist, and author, who has written extensively on the role of economic, political, social, cultural, and educational factors in public health in India.Patralekha Chatterjee's blog"Lessons not learnt after a year of battling Covid" (The Deccan Herald, 21 April 2021)"Why trust needs to be the key word in 2021" (The Asian Age, 06 January 2021)"Is India missing COVID-19 deaths?"

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Ilya Somin, of the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School, to discuss immigration and the expansive changes proposed by the new Biden Administration. What is included in Biden’s new agenda? How will it affect immigration? What are the major initiatives? What about DACA? As we post today’s episode, President Joe Biden has only been in the White House for a little more than a week and has already announced an expansive, pro-immigration agenda aimed at not only dismantling the previous administration’s harsh restrictions but also, as Professor Somin explains, to significantly move the political conversation forward. Today Aaron and Ilya are talking about what Biden’s plans seem to be, what they mean for the future, and delve into what some of the key provisions are, touching on governance, executive orders and actions, open borders, and more. What are the pathways to citizenship now and what is likely to change? What is Congress’ role? What is likely to be enacted? Ilya and Aaron discuss illegal immigration and legal immigration, raising the refugee limit, the backlog of immigration courts, and more. Ilya Somin is a Professor of Law at George Mason; his research focuses on constitutional law, property law, democratic theory, federalism, and migration rights. The author of several publications, Professor Somin’s most recent book, Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2020), explores how broadening opportunities for foot voting can greatly enhance political liberty for millions of people around the world. Ilya’s work has appeared in numerous scholarly journals, including the Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review, Georgetown Law Journal, Critical Review, and others. Professor Somin has also published articles in a variety of popular press outlets, including the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Law Angeles Times, CNN, The Atlantic, USA Today, among others.

This is the audio version of the virtual book launch of 'A region in revolt: Mapping the recent uprisings in North Africa and West Asia'. I took part in it alongside a number of the co-authors of the book. See you all in 2021. The Fire These Times will be back in mid-January. A wave of mass protest movements has spread across North Africa and West Asia, including Sudan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran. The mass protests have much in common, from opposing authoritarian regimes and worsening economic situations to demanding radical changes in social relations. Despite their similarities, each protest movement operates under different conditions that cannot be ignored. The specific historic, political and economic contexts of each country have determined who the key actors of the uprisings are and their location across old and new divides. This book elaborates on these similarities and differences to paint a clearer picture of these movements and draw out lessons to inform future struggles. Edited by Jade Saab, a Lebanese/Canadian Researcher at the University of Glasgow, the contributors include Azza Mustafa and Sara Abbas (on Sudan); Hamza Hamouchene and Selma Oumari (on Algeria); Zeidon Alkinani (on Iraq); Jade Saab and Joey Ayoub (on Lebanon); and Frieda Afary (on Iran).

It’s been about a month since the Chinese Communist Party forced a national security law on Hong Kong. This new law made it illegal for anyone anywhere in the world to promote democratic reform in the region. Recent arrests of top media and political figures have made it clear that Hong Kong's relatively free political system is over. Plus, the risk of space attacks against U.S. satellites is growing. And, some hopeful pandemic parenting advice from Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

President Trump claims that the Covid-19 pandemic justifies “the most sweeping ban on immigration” in all of United States history. Really? Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Law Professor Ilya Somin, of George Mason University, to discuss immigration, specifically the recent decision by the Trump administration to enact possibly the most sweeping immigration ban in American history. On June 22nd, President Trump extended a near-total ban -- first announced in April as a temporary ban -- on entry into the U.S. by immigrants seeking “green cards” for permanent residency. In today’s episode, Ilya and Aaron delve into this decision, with Professor Somin claiming the President’s move is political and not rationally based on the pandemic. Ilya argues that President Trump’s executive action is a more sweeping ban on immigration that ever seen before, broader than steps taken during the Great Depression, during both World Wars, or during the and the flu pandemic of 1918-19. What were the President’s true motives? Why does this radical immigration ban actually harm rather than help the economy, in addition to hurting so many individuals and their families? A graduate of Yale Law, Professor Somin’s areas of expertise are in Constitutional Law, Eminent Domain, Federalism, Political Participation/Political Knowledge and Property Rights and his research focuses on Constitutional Law, Property Law, Democratic Theory, Federalism, and Migration Rights. A successful author, Illya’s most recent book is Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom. His work has also appeared in numerous scholarly journals, including the Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review, Georgetown Law Journal, Critical Review, and others. Professor Somin has published articles in a variety of popular press outlets, including the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, the New York Times Room for Debate Website, CNN, The Atlantic, and more. Professor Somin’s writings have been cited in decisions by the United States Supreme Court, multiple state supreme courts and lower federal Courts, and the Supreme Court of Israel.

Ballot box voting is often considered the essence of political freedom. But it has two major shortcomings: individual voters have little chance of making a difference, and they also face strong incentives to remain ignorant about the issues at stake. "Voting with your feet," however, avoids both of these pitfalls and offers a wider range of choices. In his new book Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom (Oxford University Press), Ilya Somin argues that broadening opportunities for foot voting can greatly enhance political liberty for millions of people around the world.People can vote with their feet through international migration, by choosing where to live within a federal system, and by making decisions in the private sector. These three types of foot voting are rarely considered together, but Somin explains how they have important common virtues and can be mutually reinforcing. He contends that all forms of foot voting should be expanded and shows how both domestic constitutions and international law can be structured to increase opportunities for foot voting while mitigating possible downsides.Somin addresses a variety of common objections to expanded migration rights, including claims that the "self-determination" of natives requires giving them the power to exclude migrants, and arguments that migration is likely to have harmful side effects, such as undermining political institutions, overburdening the welfare state, and increasing crime and terrorism. While these objections are usually directed at international migration, Somin explains how, if taken seriously, they would also justify severe restrictions on domestic freedom of movement. By making a systematic case for a more open world, Free to Move challenges conventional wisdom on both the left and the right.

In Free to Move, Ilya Somin explains how broadening opportunities for foot voting can greatly enhance political liberty for millions of people around the world.

He contends that all forms of foot voting should be expanded and shows how both domestic constitutions and international law can be structured to increase opportunities for foot voting while mitigating possible downsides.

While these objections are usually directed at international migration, Somin shows how a consistent commitment to such theories would also justify severe restrictions on domestic freedom of movement. That implication is an additional reason to be skeptical of these rationales for exclusion.

In this episode, Ilya Somin, Professor of Law at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School, discusses his new book "Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom," which is published by Oxford University Press. Somin begins by explaining what foot voting is and how it is different from ballot box voting. He explains why foot voting can produce better outcomes than ballot box voting domestically, by enabling people to leverage knowledge and change their own circumstances. And he explains why immigration is also a kind of foot voting we should encourage. Somin will donate 50% of royalties from the book to charities serving refugees.

When we think of democracy, we typically think of voting; and when we think of voting, we ordinarily have elections and campaigns in minds. In this intuitive sense, voting is a matter of casting a ballot. After Election Day, votes are counted, and, typically, the majority rules. But things really aren't so simple. For one thing, citizens bring differing levels of information and ignorance into the voting booth. What's more, famous mathematical analyses cast doubt on the very idea of a majority will. Given this, what are we to make of democracy? In Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2020), Ilya Somin defends the idea that foot voting is an essential element of political freedom and democratic governance. Foot voting is the capacity of individuals to move to the jurisdiction or nation whose government most suits their preferences, or to select their favoured providers of various services.

Jimmy Sengenberger is joined at the Crossroads with Mica Soellner and Law Prof. Ilya Somin. Jimmy (@SengCenter) kicks off the show by explaining where BOTH sides – Trump and Democrats – go wrong on vote-by-mail system. Then, Washington Examiner Breaking News Reporter Mica Soellner (@MicaSoellner) joins Jimmy to discuss Trump's “fact-checked tweet” controversy, Gretchen Whitmer's husband's “failed attempt at humor,” new Hollywood sexual harrassment allegations, and more. Finally, George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School professor Ilya Somin (@IlyaSomin), author of the new book “Free to Move: Foot Voting, Migration and Political Freedom,” offers insights on the legality of President Trump's broad, coronavirus immigration ban. He also discusses the central argument in “Free to Move” that human beings' freedom of movement is actually more important, significant, and impactful than the ballot box is.

Hindu mythology holds that the whole world rests on the back of a turtle. What does the turtle rest on? According to legend, “it's turtles all the way down.”While many are pushing for one-world-government to address new challenges like Coronavirus, there is another approach that can be dubbed “Federalism all the way down.” In other words, why stop at devolving power from Federal Government to the states? The more we decentralize power, the more people can effectively “vote with their feet” and choose which turtle– er, jurisdiction– they will reside in.This is one of the core premises of Ilya Somin's vitally important new book Free To Move: Foot Voting, Migration, and Political Freedom. Somin, a Law professor at George Mason University and blogger at Reason's The Volokh Conspiracy, has been on my show several times to discuss his work on eminent domain, rational voter ignorance, and most recently, court packing. These topics deal with the delicate balance of powers between majorities and minorities; the voting public and life-time appointed officials. His latest book looks at the most important balance of powers of all – that which exists among the various jurisdictions where people can chose to live.He finds that the option to vote with one's feet is often a more powerful lever than the ballot box for getting the political change that we all want, yet feel powerless to achieve. Tired of calling your congressman or donating to your favorite politicians to no avail? Why not send a stronger message and withdraw your tax dollars from your city or state if you are so unhappy?Ilya's new book also contains a bold defense of more open migration from other countries. He takes objections seriously but answers them one-by-one. The right to move should trump the alleged rights of ethnic groups or individuals to exclude on the basis of national origin. Ilya joined me this Sunday to discuss his new book and the prospects for Federalism in the aftermath of Coronavirus. Will states that innovate safe ways of re-opening their economy be beneficiaries of an exodus out of states that don't? Could the U.S. relieve global poverty by opening its doors to more immigrants from countries stricken by looming famines?

Medical hubris as well as political hubris and we will be looking at some of the things that affect you on an everyday basis. The influence of self-interest verses myopic self interest and the beautiful merit of capitalism and why we need to hold on to that and what the consequences will be if that unravels. We will also talk about procedures that your doctor may want to do to you that have no proven benefit and that you really need to contemplate.
It's easy for us to “spiritualize” verses like Galatians 5:1- “It's for freedom Christ set us free.” However, all of these verses are to be lived-out in the present, in this life now. And, far from just giving us spiritual freedom (as incredible as that is), Christ brings freedom to every area of life. The religious reformers realized this. On the heels of turning their ecclesiastical structures upside down, they recognized that the same structure there should inform even government. Priests were no more entitled than kings; kings were no more entitled than priests. The concept of a “priesthood of all believers” had radical implications. No only could everyone serve in the church, they could be called in every sphere of life. In this episode of the StandFast Cast we discuss how that simple concept reverberated across the Atlantic and had major ramifications for the New World. ________ Links for the show StandFast Community- https://www.georgegrant.net/community Other listening options for the podcast include- Itunes- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-standfast-cast/id1448007323 Google Play- https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifv6ckyjzsg2glq7xqwjjmyqaei?t%3DThe_StandFast_Cast%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16 Stitcher- http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=347205&refid=stpr

Hellyer - Former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, is the driving force behind Canadian Bank Reformers, and for the last two decades he has been writing books, giving speeches, and travelling across the country in service of the cause of monetary reform. This is a central focus of many of his writings, including his most recent volume (published in 2014) The Money Mafia: A World in Crisis. Hellyer's concerns focus on two, relatively little known and seemingly wonkish matters, which are in reality critically important aspects of monetary policy that play a central role in shaping our economic landscape. These monetary issues contribute to the rapidly escalating economic inequality that we have witnessed throughout much of the world over the past half-century, and which has been documented in meticulous detail by economists such as Thomas Piketty (See: Thomas Piketty: Economics transfigured). Hellyer ran for the leadership of the PC party in 1976 but alienated many Tories with what were perceived as too right-wing views (including an attack on "Red Tories") and lost his bid to Joe Clark. In 1982 he rejoined the Liberal party before forming the Canadian Action Party (CAP) in 1997, an economic nationalist party that rejected globalization and embraced monetary reform. Neither Hellyer nor any other subsequent leader or member was ever able to win a seat under this banner. Between 2000 and 2004 Hellyer attempted to negotiate a merger between CAP and the New Democratic Party, an initiative that failed to bear political fruit. There are few politicians whose political peregrinations have spanned such a wide gamut of far-right to far-left concerns as have Hellyer's. December 15th 2016 | Full presentation and Q&A at OISE Auditorium, Toronto, Canada "The Bank of Canada – A Ray of Hope?" the Honourable Paul Hellyer lecture on the CETA constitutional challenge, how using the Bank of Canada can launch a new era of prosperity, why the U.S. voted against globalization and why Canada has nothing to fear from U.S. protectionism. 'They broke it, you can help fix it' Canadian Bank Reformers: http://www.canadianbankreformers.ca/ NOTE: THE HONOURABLE PAUL HELLYER (Former minister of national defense, and acting prime minister) lecture explains how the Canadian prosperity train came off the rails, and exactly how to put it back on again. Stop the Press! - Our government wants to ratify CETA. That will be the kiss of death for any worthwhile banking reform that would make Canada prosperous again, and prevent us from using the Bank of Canada creatively as we did from 1939 to 1974 with such amazing success. (CETA is both illegal and immoral because it unilaterally transfers power from parliament to international bankers and transnational corporations, and reverses a thousand years of progress in establishing government of by and for the people since the Magna Carta was signed). ** Paul Hellyer is the longest serving current member of the Privy Council of Canada, just ahead of Prince Philip ** Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOxFksKgDOA God Bless.
Rabbi Shmuley discusses and debates with his friend Roseanne Barr about whether people want to be free and why so many societies agree to live under tyranny.
We are accustomed in modern Western societies to various freedoms: the freedom to associate, to have opinions and express them openly, to own and dispose of our own property, to act politically and to vote for those who would govern us, to pursue our own interests and intentions—and to do all these things without unjust restraint or coercion or oppression from the state. We take much of this for granted. But according to Os Guinness, as a matter of history and political philosophy, the foundations of this sort of free society are profoundly Christian, and as our society progressively abandons or repudiates these foundations, so also it undermines our freedom. In this special edition of the CCL podcast, we bring you an edited version of the challenging talk Dr Guinness gave at our May 30 event on the nature of true freedom—both Christian and political.

We are individuals, but we're also members of society. Economics generally deals with individual action whereas politics deals with the behavior of society as a whole. Economics, as a discipline, seeks to understand, explain, and sometimes predict human behavior. Politics, on the other hand, seeks to control the behavior of society at large. When we talk about freedom, what kind of freedom are we talking about? Is it the ability to decide which goods and services we purchase and from whom without restriction? Is it being able to choose who represents our interests in government and which laws they create? And which is more important? Or is either of them? Join James Harrigan and Antony Davies as they take a deep dive into what, exactly, economics and politics actually are and what freedom in those spheres might actually mean on this week's episode of Words and Numbers. Show Notes: Brain implant improves memory Oliver North named president of the NRA Foolishness of the Week The Pope doesn’t understand economics The Pope and Libertarianism Topic of the week: What is economics?

Mireya Loza's Defiant Braceros How Migrant Workers Fought for Racial, Sexual, and Political Freedom (University of North Carolina Press, 2016) sheds new light on the private lives of migrant men who participated in the Bracero Program (1942-1964), a binational agreement between the United States and Mexico that allowed hundreds of thousands of Mexican workers to enter the U.S. on temporary work permits. While this program and the issue of temporary workers has long been politicized on both sides of the border, Loza argues that the prevailing romanticized image of braceros as a family-oriented, productive, legal workforce has obscured the real, diverse experiences of the workers themselves. Focusing on underexplored aspects of workers lives–such as their transnational union-organizing efforts, the sexual economies of both hetero and queer workers, and the ethno-racial boundaries among Mexican indigenous braceros–Loza reveals how these men defied perceived political, sexual, and racial norms. Basing her work on an archive of more than 800 oral histories from the United States and Mexico, Loza is the first scholar to carefully differentiate between the experiences of mestizo guest workers and the many Mixtec, Zapotec, Purhepecha, and Mayan laborers. In doing so, she captures the myriad ways these defiant workers responded to the intense discrimination and exploitation of an unjust system that still persists today. Mireya Loza is a curator in the Division of Political History at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. Lori A. Flores is an Assistant Professor of History at Stony Brook University (SUNY) and the author of Grounds for Dreaming: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the California Farmworker Movement (Yale, 2016).
