Ryan McMaken and Jeff Deist on Radical Decentralization
About this episode
Mises.org editor Ryan McMaken (Mises.org/McMaken) joins Jeff Deist live at Mises U to make the radical case for decentralization of political power. They tackle the Misesian view of self-determination, Professor Bryan Caplan's recent critique of decentralization as mechanism for liberty, how subsidiarity could improve the ugly culture wars in the US, and why smaller states—and smaller electorates—make more sense than political universalism.
