There is more to life than economic freedom. And there is more to economic freedom than economic freedom. A society that attempts to maximize everyone’s freedom at every moment will fail miserably in preserving individual liberty and limiting government over time.
What is missing from our policy debates is a distinctively conservative approach to economics.

Also joining me is Wells King, the research director of American Compass.
