For many centuries, only the politically connected and elite prospered in India, while the rest of the population lived in poverty. Since 1991, however, 250 million people have been lifted out of poverty and are finding new ways of unlocking their potential. India Awakes explores an inherited British bureaucracy, which created layers of rules and regulations, and it shows how globalization and economic liberalization are leading to social change. Join us to see a segment of the documentary from the Free to Choose Network. Film host Johan Norberg will discuss how individuals from different parts of India are breaking down the centuries-old caste system through new opportunities, entrepreneurship, and by obtaining property and other legal rights.  Hosted on Acast.

Next week marks the one-year anniversary of the start of America's War with ISIS. But after 12 months and more than 5,000 airstrikes—and with some 3,500 U.S. soldiers on the ground—Congress has yet to hold a vote on authorization for our latest Middle East war.Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) calls this situation "inexcusable." He has been a leader in the effort to get Congress to live up to the most solemn responsibility with which the Constitution entrusts it. "How much longer will we allow war to be waged without Congress even being willing to have a debate about the strategy and scope of the mission?" he asked from the Senate floor recently. "How much longer will we keep asking service members to risk their lives without Congress doing the basic job" of taking an up-or-down vote on the war?Join us on August 6 as we discuss the dangerous growth of executive war powers and how Congress can reclaim its constitutional prerogatives over war and peace.
