Wonderful interview (I listened to the podcast). Can't wait for round 2. I hope you will address two things: 1) How can you promote a single payer health care system from a government you won't even vote in? 2) Do the principles of subsidiary you mentioned apply to a government that is already in the negative (national debt)? Can we support any additional government programs from a government that is already in debt?
I think we have here is too very intelligent men who suffer from hubris when it comes to economic policy. The British health care system does not provide flu vaccinations or chicken pox vaccinations. When the Johnson administration began the process of getting the federal government involved in education, Milton Friedman told Thomas Sowell that public education would get worse. Sowell responded how could it get worse? As Sowell said, it did get worse.
Very interesting interview about an extremely important topic, one I continue to grapple with personally, albeit not as a specialist in the area.
Interesting interview. I'm going to check out his book based on this conversation.

I would love a deeper dive into this discussion.
Thank you!
Also you need to read Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments and Hayek, at least James Otteson’s work on them, Adam Smith’s Marketplace of Life.
Comparing forced injections by the state to a mother terminating the life of her child is fallacious. It's also morally dishonest.
