Podcasts: Why Private Property Rights Matter - Libertarianism 101 w/ Stephan Livera đź”— 2 years ago

SMART PEOPLE SH*T (A Bitcoin Podcast)

In this episode, I brought on Stephan Livera to discuss Libertarianism. I have spent a lot of time listening to others discuss the importance of the Libertarian political philosophy broadly as it applies to Bitcoin, but I wanted to get more in-depth on Libertarianism and gain a better understanding of this political ideology. We chatted a lot about property rights but we also touched on positive vs negative rights, the different "types" of libertarians, and what the world would look like if everyone was a Libertarian.
