Liberty and Leadership

Join Roger in this week's Liberty + Leadership Podcast as he sits down with Tim Carney, an acclaimed author and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Tim takes us on a fascinating journey working with the "Prince of Darkness," Robert Novak, and how his TFAS Novak Fellowship inspired him to write gripping books like "The Big Ripoff" and "Alienated America." In this thought-provoking discussion, Tim discusses the vital importance of "social capital," and why he believes liberal elites aren't living lives too differently than conservatives. Tune in for Tim's fantastic overview of economic competition, cronyism, civil society, localism, and religion in America.
