Ep 362: Libertarian Answers to a Theologian’s Questions

Summary – Libertarian Answers to a Theologian’s Questions

Preston Sprinkle recently invited Doug Stuart to be on his podcast, Theology in the Raw. Doug discusses his journey from conservative political beliefs to libertarianism, which was influenced by his doubts about American foreign policy post-9/11 and his exploration of economics, particularly the Austrian School of Economics. He emphasizes the importance of free individuals and agency in creating a moral and just society.

Doug and Preston discuss various topics, including the common misunderstandings of libertarianism and the range of views within the movement on issues like immigration and foreign policy. They agree on the need for a foreign policy that avoids war, the skepticism towards the military-industrial complex, and the benefits of free movement for immigrants.
