Jim Babka: Why Human Respect, Personal Responsibility, and Liberty Still Work

Welcome back to Voices of Liberty with host Sean Themea, powered by Young Americans for Liberty. Liberty advocate Jim Babka has spent decades finding new ways to persuade people that freedom works. In this wide-ranging conversation from FreedomFest, Jim explains his philosophy of “human respect,” why coercion reduces happiness and prosperity, and why voluntary cooperation remains one of the most powerful forces for improving people's lives. Sean and Jim explore why government intervention has made challenges like housing and healthcare worse, rebuilding family and community in an increasingly political culture, congressional accountability, immigration, foreign intervention, Second Amendment rights, and Jim’s work developing the Read the Bills Act and expanding the reach of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz. Jim also offers young Americans a powerful challenge: experiment, take risks, discover what you are uniquely good at, and build a life around work that gives you meaning.
