Interview

Simon Sarevski talked with Alberto Mingardi about entrepreneurship and innovation, the state, the system, and of course, Mariana Mazzucato.

A pessimist might invoke 1984, but I prefer to imagine that human ingenuity in the quest to be free has an advantage against human ingenuity used for repression.

A free society is one of choice. Entrepreneurs give choice, bureaucrats crush it.

Cut government spending and if you cut it enough, if people want the product, they will spend their own money, and then we will approach a free market that way.

The laws are oftentimes working against good stewardship instead of allowing for real conservation.

David Boaz talks about libertarianism, the importance of knowing what the "liberal utopia" is and working towards that goal because freedom works.

You have to have a market system that is for the little guy, not for the big corporations, and yes, global free trade is part of that.

With Trump it’s random: on some issues like taxes and regulation he’s good, on other issues like trade and government spending he is bad.

Our work will not be finished until every captive nation and people is free and independent and communism is a forgotten relic.

In small states the government is closer to its citizens and by that better observable and controllable by the populace.
