LPP 51 w Dr. Alex Salter | Has the U.S. Strayed From The Spirit of ‘76?

Thank you for watching this week's episode of the "Let People Prosper" podcast. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Alexander ("Alex") Salter, who is the Georgie G. Snyder Associate Professor of Economics in the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University, the Comparative Economics Research Fellow at TTU's Free Market Institute, and an associate editor of the Journal of Private Enterprise. We discuss: 1) Fascinating findings and research from his new book "The Spirit of 1776: Libertarianism and American Renewal," including how the current U.S. system of government has strayed from the Constitution and what we can learn from the founding fathers about compromise; 2) The true definition of the “common good” and why we can only achieve a free society through liberty and humanitarian virtues; and 3) Dr. Salter's opinion on the current economy, whether or not the U.S. is in a recession, and why he believes the dollar is seriously threatened.
