Nick Gillespie Defends the Indefensible of Fox Business' Stossel
Reason's Nick Gillespie appeared on Fox Business' Stossel show on August 18, 2011, to "defend the indefensible." The co-author of the new book The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America, Gillespie and David Boaz of the Cato Institute and Alex Tabarrok of George Mason University made the moral and economic case for often-vilified practices ranging from ticket scalping to human-organ sales to the creation of private currencies.
