Aug. 16
More from this show

In this episode of “The Civic Discourse Project,” Timothy Sandefur investigates the ways in which individual rights, in particular economic freedom, maintain the decorum necessary to preserve the American Dream.

Sandefur examines civility and incivility, and the nuances behind the situations modern Americans face when considering the differences between good and evil.
