"In Defense Of Openness" Book Panel

Hayek Program Podcast

The topic of global justice has long been a concern of people, but the conversation often ignores the work of developmental economists. On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we explore this topic in a book panel discussion of "In Defense of Openness: Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global Poverty." The panelists discuss the linkage between economic rights and development and whether or not global freedom is rightly correlated with global justice. The panel includes: - Peter J. Boettke (Moderator), Director of the F.A. Hayek Program & University Professor of Economics and Philosophy at George Mason University - Jason Brennan (Author), Robert J. and Elizabeth Flanagan Family Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at Georgetown University - Bas van der Vossen (Author), Associate Professor in the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy - Anna Stilz (Panelist), Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University - Kit Wellman (Panelist), Dean of Academic Planning & Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis - James Witte (Panelist), Director of the Institute for Immigration Research, & Director of the Center for Social Science Research at George Mason University CC Music: Twisterium
