Dr. Barbara Kolm: Austrian Economics, Freedom, and the Fight Against Socialism

Broadcasting live from FreedomFest, Sam Bushman sits down with Dr. Barbara Kolm, elected member of the Austrian Parliament, Austrian economist, and vice president of the Austrian Central Bank. They dig into the Austrian School of Economics, the freedom-fighting roots of her family, how she got into politics, and why sound money and supply-side economics matter now more than ever. Dr. Kolm also breaks down the differences between US and European healthcare systems, discusses neutrality and diplomacy, and leaves us with a powerful message about defending freedom.
