In Case You Missed It
As the 2024 presidential election looms, questions about democracy and political participation take center stage. How should we approach democracy if our goal is to achieve radically more freedom, especially when the popular will often leans in the opposite direction? And, given that our current system is far from fully just, how should we think about engaging with it? These are critical questions that libertarians, and others, frequently raise—questions that deserve more attention than they typically get.
Aaron Ross Powell, a political ethicist, novelist, podcaster, and former think tank scholar, explores these ideas in his podcast, blog, and newsletter, ReImagining Liberty. Powell’s work delves into the philosophy and application of radical liberalism, a framework that challenges conventional ideas of political freedom and governance.
In the latest episode, Powell is joined by his good friend and IHS Fellow, Andy Craig—an expert on election laws and democratic theory. Together, they tackle the big questions about democracy, freedom, and political participation in today’s world.
