A Resilient Republic
Is democracy broken? Are we a court decision away from losing our individual rights? Can free markets withstand protectionism and navigate the turbulence of technological progress?

Hosted by Ben Klutsey, executive director of the Mercatus Center, the podcast features conversations with public intellectuals and practitioners examining how markets, institutions, and communities can become resilient enough to preserve freedom without abandoning it. www.benklutsey.com
