6:49Now PlayingIs America poised for another revolution?
David Boaz, Executive Vice President of The CATO Institute, isn't betting on it.
"35 years ago, when I was a college student," Baoz reminisced, "the first libertarian speaker i ever heard said 'We are going to have hyper inflation. Buy gold and guns. That's the only thing that will save you.' And our political system averted that disaster."
At FreedomFest 2011, Reason's Nick Gillespie sat down with Boaz to discuss revolution (American and French), the way out of the current fiscal crisis, the recent rise of liberty-loving youth.
Held each July in Las Vegas, FreedomFest is attended by around 2,000 libertarians and advocates of limited government. Reason.tv spoke with over two dozen speakers and attendees and will be releasing interviews over the coming weeks.
