Mark Littlewood: Libertarianism, Devolution & Decentralisation
“I remain disappointed, flummoxed, angry and aggravated that free market libertarianism has not made more headway because it seems to me to provide many, if not most of the answers to the barriers to human flourishing and removal of human suffering.“
On today’s podcast, I’m talking with Mark Littlewood.
Mark will be well-known to many of you. He was, at the time of this interview, the director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs, the leading free-market think tank in the UK. Formerly he was the chief press spokesman for the Liberal Democrats and an advisor to the Conservative Party under Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mark also sits on the Board of Big Brother Watch, a non-profit organisation fighting for the protection of privacy and civil liberties in the UK.
In this conversation, we discuss libertarianism, the possibility of a Free City in London, State Competition, and Socialism and I get Mark’s opinion on the long-term viability of the Free Cities idea.
Enjoy the conversation.
