Our guest on Mises Weekends this week is uniquely qualified to discuss modern progressives from a libertarian perspective. Jim Ostrowski, whom Murray Rothbard called “one of the finest people in the libertarian movement,” is a lawyer, writer, activist, and chronicler of progressive dysfunction in his native New York. He’s the author of Progressivism: A Primer on the Idea Destroying America, which explains progressivism more as personal psychology than a coherent view of the world. If you’re interested in how progressives managed to capture the 20th century, stay tuned.
