In this episode, mining entrepreneur and libertarian thinker Ron Manners AO shares his impatient vision for defending Western civilization and free market principles.
As founder of the Mannkal Foundation and author of "The Impatient Libertarian," Manners reflects on the five influential mentors who shaped his philosophical outlook, including economist Frederick Hayek. He discusses the strategic balance between ideas and action that has defined his entrepreneurial success over decades.
Identifying as "an impatient libertarian," Manners delivers an assessment of government overreach, regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship, and the cultural shifts threatening civil society. He shares remarkable personal anecdotes from his relationships with philosophical leaders while making a passionate case for libertarian principles in modern Australia. His firsthand experiences provide rare insight into whether free market advocates can overcome what he sees as a growing hostility toward industry and individual liberty.
