Ep 275: How to Understand Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a hot topic in America, how should Christian libertarians view it? In some ways the narrative of CRT has some validity to it, and may be enlightening for what is going on in society; however, portions of CRT directly challenge people's rights and individual liberty. What are some takeaways, and what should we take with a grain of salt? Show Notes: Have you listened to our recent conversation with Phil Magness on CRT yet? Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep 274: The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism, with Kristopher Borer
We had the pleasure of welcoming Kristopher Borer, the author of The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism, to talk about how he sought to redefine libertarianism, the unique voice used in his book, and his view of libertarianism as an ethical - rather than a political - system. With his background in engineering Kris has been gifted with a keen eye for the mechanisms that make a system, such as libertarianism, work or collapse. Show Notes: We highly recommend you give The Ethics of Anarcho-Capitalism a read! Check out Kris's website at Krisborer.com! Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

BONUS: Pro-Life Libertarian Women Redefine Abortion Debate (re-mastered)
Much of what is being said on the news and social media about abortion by both pro-choice and pro-life activists is just plain wrong. In this episode, three pro-life libertarian women "take the mic" to discuss some of the most common myths about abortion and to present a new way of thinking for libertarians to value both the rights of women and the unborn. While certainly compatible with Christian theology, the arguments presented herein are based on science, embryology, ethics, libertarian political theory, and free market economics. Buckle up!(Re-mastered; originally released as Ep. 122 on June 10, 2019.)Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

Ep 272: The Future Stakes of Social Media and Money
Social media is a massive aspect of modern life. Like most anything else, it can be a platform for good, or it can be used for the opposite. We are forced to wonder the ways in which social media influences our lives - especially with Elon Musk's recent involvement in Twitter - and how people may use it as a tool to direct people's behavior. Regardless, social media allows people who may not have any physical-social outlet for what they believe, like libertarians, to communicate with like-minded individuals across the globe. Show Notes: Speaking of social media, follow Olivia on Twitter @olilangarica! Kerry highly recommends Bob Murphy's Lessons for the Young Economist.

Ep 271: Libertarian Scholarship, with Jason Jewell, Ph.D.
We were delighted to welcome back Jason Jewell, Ph.D., a previous guest on the podcast and new editor of our own journal the Christian Libertarian Review (CLR). Why is scholarship so important? Ideas that may be socio-politically irrelevant can be launched into the public eye through scholarly journals; therefore, libertarians should see the importance of such intellectual avenues - especially with peer-reviewed publications. Show Notes: CLR's 2020 Issue Our last episode with Jason Submit at CLR or check out the Mises Scholarship Conference
