#107 - Reem Ibrahim - Free Markets, Capitalism & Liberty

Reem Ibrahim is a 23-year-old libertarian and one of Britain’s most articulate defenders of freedom.

In this powerful episode, we talk about her journey from Corbyn-supporting teen to Rothbard-reading free market radical. We cover everything from why the state fails, why the NHS is collapsing, to why young people are 53% socialist & what we can do about it.
