Lecture #3 was an “aha” lecture. Often I have been irritated with Conservatives when they don’t support free markets as I felt a Conservative should and I could not understand it. This thread you have going through these lectures of avoiding the binary is starting to make a lot of sense to me. As a Von Mises, Hayek, and Friedman kind of guy I always thought they blended into the Conservative camp. Not so.
Pretty amazing series. How do we now get an accreditation? Credit-card is ready.
