The interview covers his new book, The New Road to Serfdom: A Letter of Warning to America. Hannon is a friend of freedom with the experience and perspective of a Brit. His historical knowledge of America and limited government lend much credence to his words.
His warning is one we should heed.
Here are a few samples from the interview:
"In the mid-1990s, Republicans reintroduced Americans to an idea that had been almost totally forgotten, namely that politicians can keep their promises. "
"In all but one of these countries, people wanted spending cuts rather than tax rises. In other words, the desire for tax cuts is not peculiar to the U.S. But the belief that you can do something about it through your democratic mechanisms is a fairly unusual one."
"I had also become disillusioned with the GOP. The longer the Republicans stayed in office, the less Republican they seemed."
"Most of you [Americans] have no idea of how lucky you are."
Here is Mr. Hannan with The Judge:
