Tom Palmer: Liberating Prosperity
“I think that the best can be the enemy of the good & the better, and sometimes we should be careful about saying that we have this vision of this fabulous idea, and overlook opportunities for incremental improvements to what exists now.”
Tom is an American libertarian author and theorist, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and the executive vice president for international programs at Atlas Network.
Just prior to recording this episode, Peter Young, The Free Cities Foundation’s Managing Director was chatting with myself and Tom in our makeshift studio in Warsaw and it turned out to be such an interesting discussion that I asked Peter to come onto the podcast with us to further the conversation.
As a result, after briefly discussing Tom’s work at Atlas Network, he and Peter end up deconstructing some of the concepts underlying Free Cities and we get a very useful insight into Tom’s thoughts on the general validity of the Free Cities model itself.
I would like to say Many thanks to Tom and Peter for making this a lively and interesting dialogue
Enjoy the conversation.
