Added 12.5.18. Guest Richard Epstein – a legal and political scholar – lays out the tenets of classical liberalism versus modern day progressivism. The differences are fairly vast, and instructive. He was, at the time of this interview, the author most recently of “Why Progressive Institutions Are Unsustainable.” Epstein is a professor of law and director of the Classical Liberal Institute at New York University, and a senior lecturer at The University of Chicago. His book, “Takings: Private Property And The Power Of Eminent Domain,” proved controversial for its arguments about limits on the government’s power, but has been cited in several Supreme Court rulings. He is also the author of “Simple Rules For A Complex World,” in which he argues for more limited and clear government rule-making.
