It was a fantastic pleasure to welcome Bryan Caplan back for a third time on the podcast! His most recent book is Don't Be a Feminist: Essays on Genuine Justice.
He explains why he thinks:
- Feminists are mostly wrong,
- We shouldn’t overtax our centi-billionaires,
- Decolonization should have emphasized human rights over democracy,
- Eastern Europe shows that we could accept millions of refugees.
