7 - The State of Classical Liberalism in 2021

10/04/21 • 42 min

In this seventh episode of Liberty & Wine, you will learn how my friend Brad went from rap and indie rock journalist to CEO of the Atlas Network, and about his new book, Liberalism and the Free Society in 2021.

This month’s wine review covers a 2018 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes. And my editorial tells you why Sweden is not as socialist as the American and Canadian left would like you to believe.

Note: Due to technical difficulties, part of the recording for this episode resulted in a subpar sound quality.

8 - Monetary Policy and Its Impact on the Lives of Ordinary People

In this eighth episode of Liberty & Wine, my friend Rudyard and I talk about monetary policy and how, despite the supposed independence of central banks and it being the top policy issue facing more and more countries, it seems to escape political debate and public scrutiny. This is particularly unfortunate given that monetary policy has a significant impact on the lives of ordinary people.

For this month’s wine review, my special guest wine expert Malcolm presents the 2019 Tawse Growers Blend Pinot Noir from the Niagara Falls region. I then conclude by telling you about a great Netflix series I recently watched – The Barrier – before making a very exciting announcement about the addition of a new host to Liberty & Wine.
