We Have to Change Ourselves if We Want to Change the World | Guest: Ricardo Salinas | Ep 325
At the Mont Pelerin Society meeting in Mexico City, Matt Kibbe caught up with the tremendously successful entrepreneur Ricardo Salinas to talk about the battle for hearts and minds being waged between the collectivists and individualists who believe in personal freedom and responsibility. Salinas explains how he is using his business empire to expand opportunities for the Mexican people, particularly in offering educational alternatives to the state-run schools. They also talk about the dangers of central banking and the potential for Bitcoin to do an end run around government control of currency.

My intro to Austrian Economics was in 1966, by way of Rand/Alan Greenspan with “Gold & Economic Freedom”, before he went over to the “Dark Side”. I started reading the WSJ daily. I didn’t vote because I became an Objectivist that year after reading all of Ayn’s work. I couldn’t understand why she was willing to overlook the political contradictions with men like Ronald Reagan. His great quotes were not his, but Karl Hess’, one of his speech writers.
