A former President of the American Civil Liberties Union (1991–2008), Strossen has spent decades defending robust protections for free speech and civil liberties. The conversation will explore the role of expressive freedom in sustaining open debate and democratic society.

In 1980, Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose was published—along with a 10-part TV series.

As notable as the ideas in each episode was Friedman’s approach to the discussion portion—favouring robust debate and long-format conversation to short-form slogans or angry talking points.

In 1859, John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty was published, and it remains one of the most influential works on individual freedom and free expression.

You can access a copy of On Liberty under the Classical Liberalism section on our Resources page:

[Sean Speer @Sean_Speer]

I was pleased to speak with Matt Bufton and the @Liberal_Studies about culture, politics, the New Right, and a defence of the boringness and blandness of bourgeois life.
