Pastor Tub and I discuss the 15th, 16th, & 17th of 25 different issues from a libertarian perspective. This episode we discuss libertarian thoughts on minimum wage, foreign aid, and farm subsidies.
For non-libertarians, we hope this helps you understand the issue of regulation from a libertarian position; for libertarians, we hope this provides some useful talking points for your non-libertarian friends and family. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Josh rejoins me and we discuss Freedom Of Association. This is the third of what I believe are three fundamental pillars to libertarianism: self-ownership, the non-aggression principle and freedom of association. Rather than aim for a philosophically bullet-proof argument, the goal is to help non-libertarians understand why we libertarians can be so unmovable in our position. In the process, we hope to provide fellow libertarians a different way to present our ideas to those we meet.
