Why do governments always fail and what can we do about it? with Dominic Frisby

Ethical Economics

In this podcast, we speak with committed libertarian Dominic Frisby, possibly the world's first economist-investor-comedian. Dom has recently re-released his top-selling book Life After the State, Why We Don’t Need Government. Dom has also produced works on Bitcoin, the future of money, taxation, Adam Smith, and mining. Our focus today is on Dom’s ideas about how and why we should reduce government interference in our lives and in the economy. We consider the benefits of small government, the damage of fiat currency, the conditions for successful privatisations, the trouble in the NHS, taxation and its impact on society, and how we can rebuild society to create a freer and fairer society.
