<html><p>I've spent my entire career as what you might call a professional liberty advocate. But the last six or seven years have forced a lot of re-thinking on my part about how best to discuss these ideas in the evolving political landscape. The fundamental case for freedom, grounded in shared dignity and mutual respect, remains strong, but it feels like Americas, and much of the world, have proven more willing to reject it recently. Liberalism is ceding ground to the base desire to use power to reward friends and punish enemies.</p><p><br/></p><p>To help me get a handle on how things have changed, were we stand now, and were it all might be headed, I'm joined today by David Boaz, distinguished senior fellow at the Cato Institute, and my boss for the 13 years I spent at Cato.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>ReImagining Liberty is a project of </em><em><a href="https://www.theunpopulist.net" target="_blank">The UnPopulist</a></em><em>, and is produced by </em><em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank">Landry Ayres</a></em><em>.
