YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At ISI’s 2024 American Politics and Government Summit, leading scholars Michael Munger, Thomas Savidge, and Sam Gregg took the stage for a thought-provoking panel on the role of economic freedom in America’s past, present, and future.

The discussion traced how free markets, limited government, and property rights shaped the American founding, fueling prosperity, innovation, and national strength. The panelists explored key historical moments—from the early republic to the Industrial Revolution—where economic liberty played a decisive role in America’s rise.

But is economic freedom under threat today? Munger, Savidge, and Gregg debated the modern challenges facing free enterprise, including government overreach, rising debt, and regulatory expansion. They warned against creeping statism and argued for policies that uphold entrepreneurial spirit, personal responsibility, and market-driven solutions to today’s economic challenges.
