Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pedro Schwartz: A Life in Spanish Liberal Thought | The Scars of Freedom
Q: How did your time at the London School of Economics shape your approach to politics in Spain?
LSE exposed me to Popper, Robbins, and a cosmopolitan liberal tradition, which I translated into Spain by advocating institutional frameworks, rule of law, and open markets. It also prompted me to bring these ideas home—through teaching, seminars, and helping Spanish liberals connect with the broader Anglo-Saxon liberal intellectual lineage.
Pedro Schwartz: A Life in Spanish Liberal Thought | The Scars of Freedom
Q: What prompted you to form a new liberal party in Spain and how did it influence later conservative reforms?
I was driven by a conviction that economic freedom and liberal institutions were essential for Spain's modernization. The party acted as a bridge, pushing for NATO cooperation and economic liberalization, and its influence extended into the reformist wing of the later conservative movement, shaping policy even after the party fused with the mainstream conservative right.
Javier Milei, Part 2: Where His Culture War and Libertarianism Go Wrong
Q: Is the upcoming election focused on economics?
Yes, it is still fundamentally about economics, and Milei will gain substantially in the elections.
Javier Milei, Part 2: Where His Culture War and Libertarianism Go Wrong
Q: What do you think about the relationship between Milei and Pope Francis?
There is a clash because both are anti-abortion, but they differ in how they want the state to use resources for the people.
