If you were asked to rank cities based on their level of libertarian policy implementation, it is very unlikely that at the top of the list, you would intuitively put Madrid. Of course, liberalism, classical liberalism, libertarianism, or capitalism are not usually thought of as being abundant in European cities.  But on today's episode, we are going to be discussing with Diego Sánchez de la Cruz his newest book, "Liberalismo a la Madrileña" (Madrid-style Liberalism). How and why Madrid has become the region in Spain that grows the most, generates the most income, offers the best public services, collects the most, and lowers the most taxes. 

Madrid achieved all of this while implementing the most radical liberal reforms in any European city in the last 15 years.  How exactly did Madrid become the Capital of Capitalism in Spain?
