In the inaugural episode of 2016, host Marc Clair welcomes in philosophy professor and author of "The Free Market Existentialist: Capitalism without Consumerism", Bill Irwin! Bill describes his early philosophical influences, and how he came into the ideas of individual liberty and free markets later in life through the fictional work of Ayn Rand. Marc and Bill discuss the concept of existentialism, why Bill doesn't believe in natural rights, and just how an existentialist philosophy can lead one to embrace free markets and individual liberty.Download this episode (right click and save)https://youtu.be/OQZb6BXWD74
