Discussing Patrick Henry – A Conversation with Lawrence W. Reed


In this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz welcomes Lawrence W. Reed, President Emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), to discuss the life, legacy, and enduring significance of American Founding Father Patrick Henry. Best known for his stirring declaration, “Give me liberty or give me death,” Henry was a passionate advocate for individual freedom and limited government. Reed, a longtime champion of economic education and liberty, explores Henry’s contributions to the American Revolution and the principles he stood for. This episode offers a compelling look at one of the most influential voices for liberty in American history.


Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
