Trend Following With Michael Covel

My guest today is Walter Williams, an American economist, commentator, and academic. He is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, as well as a syndicated columnist and author known for his libertarian views. The topics are liberty and economics. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Why Williams calls himself a radical The morality of markets The welfare state and bailouts How Williams didn't "think poor" growing up The nefarious aspect of minimum wage How Williams stayed positive and avoided bitterness despite opposition Malcolm X. and Martin Luther King, Jr. Why there's no poverty in the United States How Williams felt about the Fall of 2008 and the bailouts that took place How we got to the point where people want to trust the state so much How Williams has developed a thick skin to deal with the criticism of his radical nature Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast li
