Libertarianism – the philosophy of political and economic freedom – is on the rise, says author DAVID BOAZ. From the popularity of presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul, to the importance of libertarian thought on same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization, and criminal justice reform, the movement is here to stay. In this edition of Ballot Talks, our show on all things politics and elections-related, Marty speaks with David Boaz, the executive vice president of The Cato Institute, about his book The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom. Then, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush announced their candidacy this week. We’ll look at what it means for the GOP presidential field and the democrats with DAVID CATANESE, Senior politics writer for U.S. News & World Report.
