  • @BobbyW3363 CATO commonly brings in both progressives and conservatives to speak. Libertarians, unlike statist conservatives, illiberal liberals, and regressive progressives are typically very willing to compete in a free-marketplace of ideas

  • Its hard not to vomit while listening to Soros.

  • @richardcadbury Agree.

  • Wow. What a total clusterfuck of an event. It was grim having to wade through the crap in order to get to the Epsteiney goodness.

  • @AtibbsSPARTAN

    Soros contributes pathetically little here. He did not really respond to what anyone else said nor did he state a clear opinion on Hayek and the tie to constitutional liberty. He just rambled on in the vaguest generalities.

    If you've learned something about the markets from Soros, fine. Being an excellent trader does not make anyone the go to authority on economics. Successful traders constantly disagree with one another.

  • @AtibbsSPARTAN God forbid you actually try to learn something from the greatest trader in history. And yes, I'm an Austrian who has also learned a lot from Soros about how markets function.

  • Richard Epstein is brilliant.

  • I'd like to disagree with Soros, but I miss what he's actually saying due the narcolepsy he gives me every time he starts talking.

  • Epstein is brilliant. I do not think Soros could even begin to understand what was being said. 

  • Haha, Richard Epstein is a robot.

  • Richard Epstein is one of the most interesting and brilliant speakers i have ever heard. I have long been a fan of his and I am constantly in awe of his amazing oratory style and substance. I could listen to him debate every day. I sure wish he was given more exposure by the major media.
