VIA welcomes Professor Per Bylund onto the show! Per Bylund is the Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Records-Johnston Professor of Free Enterprise in the School of Entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State University. Jeff and Professor Bylund discuss the new book he’s writing for the Mises Institute, his work teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs, and the economics of voluntary charity vs. the welfare state.

The ladies of Voluntaryism in Action get together to discuss education! Restrictions, homeschool, unschooling, the sordid history of government schools--it's all here! Remember, the government has shut down their schools but not stopped taking parent's money to pay for them.

Today our extra-special guest is Nina Prevot, a trademark and entertainment attorney. She joins Jeff to discuss intellectual property (IP), something that is a point of contention between libertarians/anarchists and many artists, authors, and other creatives. Together, Jeff and Nina explore the US laws regulating IP, what they get right and what they get wrong, and how free market alternatives to government enforcement of IP might function. We’ve been trying to get Nina on the show for several months, and we were finally able to connect while she was traveling. The hotel internet connection isn’t the greatest, but we decided to make it happen anyway. Check out Nina’s Twitter account at https://twitter.com/MulattaLoca and her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ninaelizabethrose.

Today, we’re joined by Kerry McDonald, an author, researcher, and activist for education freedom. Kerry McDonald is a Senior Education Fellow at FEE and author of “Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom (Chicago Review Press, 2019)”. She is also an adjunct scholar at The Cato Institute and a regular Forbes contributor. Jeff and Kerry discuss public school, homeschool, and even unschooling. They also go into the effect the government’s pandemic has had on children’s education.
