"What's different about a liberal democracy, as opposed to an *illiberal* democracy, is there are a lot of things majorities cannot do. They must protect minority rights. That's why we have the Bill of Rights, why we have the First Amendment."
...
We judge a liberal democracy by; does it tolerate ... the speech of minorities, who take very different views from the majority. "

I'm trying to give a serious hearing to educated people I disagree with, in the hopes of learning new facts or arguments that might change my mind. But OMG, this podcast is like listening to Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet Show talk about economics;
https://www.econtalk.org/why-industrial-policy-is-almost-always-a-bad-idea-with-scott-sumner/
These guys are stuck in the 1980s, having totally missed that most economists have moved on from market fundamentalism.

"Governments that do not do these things fail. So: Regulation of a financial system. The availability of a reliable, independent system for adjudicating disputes--so, a judiciary. Stability of the currency. The ability to control the expansion of debt, to secure modest interest rates. The incapacity to provide the basic State function of controlling the border. And, the incapacity to keep order and enforce the laws."

"... the usual separation between markets and politics, where markets are probably going to perform better than democracy in deciding how to allocate resources, was not only conceded by the Cambridge Welfare Economists: they anticipated Public Choice arguments by 60 or 70 years. They just had a different solution."

The #EconTalk podcast is such a public service. Every few episodes I get to hear from researchers that have fleshed out and skewered one of my own thoughts, often taking them to heights that I'd not considered. All this in an engaging and fun dialogue format! Talk about efficacy, let alone efficiency. 🍻 #economics
