101. How Big Government HURTS Trade & The New American Worker w Scott Lincicome of Cato Institute | Ep. 23
In LPP Episode #23, I interview Scott Lincicome about the costs of big government for trade, labor, child care, or poverty relief and the benefits of free trade and markets to best let people prosper.
Hello Friends,
I recently interviewed Scott Lincicome, Cato Institute's director of general economics and Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, on the Let People Prosper Show where we discussed:
Why the government is not the solution to our nation's problems and how the government is often the problem;
What trade is and is not, why we need it, and why we should not be afraid of it; and
His newly released book, "Empowering the New American Worker: Market-Based Solutions for Today’s Workforce," with multiple authors on the path forward to help everyday working Americans. Hint: it's not with more government! (See Scott's latest WSJ article)
