Roderick Long on Race, Gender, Equality and Libertarianism
HD Download"We don't have the right to subordinate other people to our ends or treat them as objects for our uses," says Roderick Long, professor of philosophy at Auburn University and President of the Molinari Institute. "And that is a fundamental kind of equality that I think is at the heart of libertarianism."
Reason TV talked with Long at Libertopia 2012 in San Diego. Topics included proper ways to deal with discrimination without state interference, why sometimes political correctness is good, and why libertarians should support some forms of equality.
Approximately 7 minutes. Interview by Zach Weissmueller. Camera by Alex Manning and Paul Feine. Edited by Weissmueller.
